Though you may think it's ridiculous I overheard I swear Right from the mouth of St. Nicholas: "Have reindeer - will travel!" You takes the jets that you see today Fly through the frosty air I'd rather stick to my good old sleigh! Have reindeer - will travel! Those astronauts can take a back seat Whenever I zoom in space That goes for men like Shepard and Glenn As over the roads I race Toys from the bag full to tickle us Bundles of gifts to share "Cer-rack!" goes the whip of St. Nicholas Come Donder - come Blitzen, now Cupid, come Vixen Have reindeer - will travel! (Doo-be doo...) Have reindeer will travel! (La la-la-la...) Have reindeer will travel! Now I've got toys especially for boys The old bear 'Applesauce' And for the girls a dolly with curls A present from Santa Claus West of the moon and beyond the stars Over the world I go Wherever good little children are From island to isthmus 'Round midnight each Christmas Have reindeer - will travel!
