Song title: Run run Rudolph

(Berry) by Chuck Berry (Chess ???)

Run run Rudolph

Out of all the reindeers, you know you're the mastermind
Run, run, Rudolph, you're runnin' way too far behind

Run, run, Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run, Rudolph, I'm reeling like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy, child what have you been longing for?
All I want for Christmas is a rock & roll electric guitar
And away went Rudolph, whizzing like a shooting star

Run, run, Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town yea
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run, Rudolph, I'm reeling like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a girl, child what are we supposed to get?
A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet
And away went Rudolph, whizzing like a sabre jet

Run, run, Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run, Rudolph, I'm reeling like a merry-go-round

Oh run, run, Rudolph!
Oh run, run, Rudolph!
Oh run, run, Rudolph!
Oh run, run, Rudolph!
