The Singing Scoutmaster: Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

C                                   

Grandma got run over by a reindeer  

                                      F    

walking home from our house Christmas Eve  

                                     C       

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,  

    G                          C       

but as for me and grandpa we believe.  

Am                          G        

She'd been drinking too mucheggnog,  

                         C   

and we warned her not to go  

                     F        

But she left her medication,  

        G                              C      

and she wandered out the door into the snow.  

Am                          G        

When we found her Christmas morning  

                      C     

at the scene of the attack  

                              F          

There were hoof prints on her forehead,  

      G                              C      

and incriminating claus marks on her back.  

C

Am                        G         

Now we're all so proud of grandpa.  

                         C     

He's been taking this so well  

                          F          

See him in there watching football,  

         G                                  C    

drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel  

Am                         G         

It's not Christmas without grandma.  

                            C      

All the family's dressed in black  

                           F        

And we just can't help but wonder:  

          G                              C                       

Should we open up her gifts or send them back (send them back!)  

C

Am                      G       

Now the goose is on the table,  

                        C    

and the pudding made of fig  

                        F        

And the blue and silver candles  

           G                                      C    

that would just have matched the hair in grandmas wig  

Am                             G           

I've warned all my friends and neighbors:  

                          C       

Better watch out for your selves  

                         F        

They should never give a license  

     G                                      C       

to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.
