When Rudolph was a little fawn
      He wasn’t always good.
His mother taught him frequently
     The things she knew she should.

​

But Rudolph was adventurous
     And often ran away.
Then off he’d shoot into the night
     To ask the stars to play.

​

The stars soon got to know him well,
    And liked this little fawn.
They watched him as he ran and played
    And went back home at dawn.

​

Rudolf’s mother worried though.
     She knew that when he grew,
Her youngest son had work to learn –
     And a special job to do.

​

She told him that he’d pull a sleigh
    With lots of heavy toys.
'You’ll be helping Santa take them round
     To all good girls and boys.'

​

His mother told him all these things,
    But she’d nothing much to fear,
For her small son grew up to be
    A leader amongst deer.

​

He’d played at night amongst the stars
    And knew the starlit sky.
He’d looked down at the city streets
     And watched the world go by.

​

The friendly stars had guided him
     If he ever lost his way,
So he was just the very deer
    To help pull Santa’s sleigh.

​

He worked for very many years.
     He brought  gifts to me  and you.
Now Rudolph’s son is learning what
      All reindeer have to do.

​

When you’re in bed on Christmas Eve,
     Asleep, with eyes closed tight,
Rudolph’s son and reindeer friends
     Will travel through the night.
