What’s your name, man?nRudolph Red-Nosed ReindeernMy name is Rudolph Red-Nosed ReindeernAnd Santa came to me one foggy yearnOn Christmas Eve, Christmas Even—Here he comes!nHere comes the Santa Claus!nLadies and gentlemen!nThe moment you’ve been waiting for!nThe pride of the North Pole!nSaint Nicholas!nThere’s a delay nOf my sleigh,nRight before Christmas Day.nThis fog is not going away,nI’m gonna need someone to light the way. nCheck it—nCan I be real a second? nFor just a millisecond? nLet down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second? nNow I’m the model of a modern myth that’s magical,nA veteran with venison valeting him whose elves are all nLining up, to make my sleigh ascendable,nHitchin’ reindeer to harnessesnAnd checkin’ off the names on Nice and Naughty Lists,nBut the elephant is in the room:nThe fog is in our face and our mission is about to be doomed!nAny hope of success is fleeting,nHow can I keep leading, when the reindeer I’m leading can’t be seeing? nWe put a halt to proceedings as we try to get vision;nIt’s a tough decision. Listen,nWe are in fognThat’s thicknWe gotta go quicknWe gotta make it through this year, nAyo, I need a new lead reindeer.nIs this the team with which I am to circle the globe?nWe fly at midnight—the North Pole in the distance.nI cannot fly if I cannot see, people!nI’m in dire need of assistance.nBrrrnYour Excellency, you wanted to see me? nRudolph, come in—did you say “brrr”?nYes, sir, ‘cause it’s freezing.nThere’s a rumor, sir: Christmas is canceled because there’s a storm out?nRudolph?nSir?nClose the door, don’t let the warm out.nHave I done something wrong, sir?nOn the contrary.nI called you here because our odds are beyond scary.nYour reputation precedes you, so I have to ask—nSir?nRudolph, what will it take to get you on my staff?nSir?! nOkay, look, I know you’ve got a crazy shiny nose,nIn fact, I’ve heard there are those who even say it glows.nI know the deer and all the elves now admire younThey laugh and call me names, like Pinocchio.nNow why’re you upset?nI’m not—nIt’s alright you want to fly, you’ve got a hunger.nYou’re just like Donner as a youngster.nHead full of fantasies of flyin’ like a starter?nYes.nFlying is easy, young man. Leading is harder.nWhy are you telling me this?nI’m being honest.nI need to get these toys to all the kids like I promised.nA fog this thick is not an option I chose,nI need a reindeer who can light up his nose. So?nI am not throwin’ away my shot!nI am not throwin’ away my shot!nAyo, it’s just why he came here, a young and scrappy reindeer!nI am not throwing away my shot!nSon, we are in fog that’s thick!nYou need all the help you can get,nI have some friends: Yukon Cornelius, nAnd Hermey—he’s a dentist. nK, what else?nWe gotta go quick!nWe’ll need to go as the crow flies,nTake shortcuts and zoom through the night sky, nI’ll tell the elves to load the sleigh with supplies, nWe’ll take to the skies, all the haters will be surprised!nI’ll rise above my station, lead your sleigh to every nation.nWe’ll go down in his’try as a winning combination, sir!nHere comes the Santa Claus!nRise up! nAnd his lead reindeer!nBoom!
