Rudolph Vs. Frosty
(Music and Lyrics: Matt Smith)
Everyone knows Rudolph has a big, red shiny nose
And Frosty comes to town every December when it snows
But did you know that those two never really got along?
I bet you’ve never heard this Christmas song…
“I’ve paid my dues for years and years, I’m Santa’s very favorite deer
So I should be the second in command at Christmastime,” says Rudolph
“Pull the sleigh where Santa goes and light the night with my red nose
I think it’s time for me to get what’s mine”
“Night lights are replaceable; a talking snowman’s magical
My agent says I need a bigger piece of Santa’s pie,” says Frosty
I bring children real joy, not just the latest stupid toy
I think it’s time for me to get what’s mine”
Then Rudolph rang his reindeer bells
Turned and sang with all the elves:
Hey Hey Hey
Santa’s on his way
You’d better stop that bickering before it’s Christmas day
Ho Ho Ho
Eggnog and mistletoe
And Santa’s gonna take a torch and melt you to the floor
“Frosty, you’ve got coal for eyes, when things get hot you won’t survive
So get out of my way, this job is mine all mine (now snowman step aside),” says Rudolph
“Rudolph, man, your claim to fame’s a lightbulb and a funny name And everybody knows I’m next in line
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Wont you kiss my corncob pipe”
Hey Hey Hey
Santa’s on his way
You’d better stop that bickering before it’s Christmas day
Ho Ho Ho
Eggnog and mistletoe
And Santa’s gonna mount you in his living room for show
“Hey Rudolph!”
“What?”
“I wrote a song about you!”
“Oh boy…”
“You wanna hear it? Here it goes!”
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And when ol’ Saint Nick saw it
He thought it would look really good mounted on his wall
“Oh you think that’s funny? Well check this out!”
Frosty the Snowman
Was a puddle on the ground
And a makeshift scoop for the reindeer poop
Is the best use for his magic hat I’ve found
With a nod of his head, Rudolph took to the sky, and swooping down he gouged at Frosty with an antler to the eye
But Frosty struck right back and grabbed his bright red nose, and turned it right into a popsicle as Rudolph’s whole head froze
But Rudolph broke the ice, shook his antlers twice, and raced back in to strike again
But then a “Ho Ho Ho!” came booming from the sky
The echoed voice of you-know-who
With the cookies and milk and a bowlful of jelly in his belly
And a dash through the sky, and a twinkle in his eye, Saint Nick
With a bag full of toys for the good girls and boys on his shoulder
And a “Ho Ho Ho!” and a “Look out below!” Saint Nick
With the cookies and milk and a bowlful of jelly in his belly
And a dash through the sky, and a twinkle in his eye, Saint Nick
With a bag full of toys for the good girls and boys on his shoulder
And a reindeer call and a “Dash away all!” Saint Nick
“You two ougtta be ashamed, you’ve sullied Santa’s perfect name
This operation would go down the drain if I retired,” says Santa
“Neither of you gets the job, so go and join the Grinch’s mob
And Merry Christmas both of you, you’re fired!”
Then Santa broke into a smile
Said, “Everyone else stay awhile!”
Hey Hey Hey
Santa’s here today
And now it’s time for Christmas dinner, everyone awaits
Ho Ho Ho
Everything’s alright
‘Cause Mrs. Claus has whipped us up a Christmas feast tonight
Hey Hey Hey
Santa’s here today
And now it’s time for Christmas dinner, everyone awaits
Ho Ho Ho
Everything’s alright
‘Cause Santa’s having venison and snow ice cream tonight
