Lyrics[]
Out of all the reindeers, you know you're the mastermind
Run, run, Rudolph, Randolph ain't too far behind
Run, run, Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run, Rudolph, 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a boy child, "What have you been longin' for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a rock-n-roll electric guitar"
And then away went Rudolph whizzin' like a shootin' star
Run, run, Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run, Rudolph, 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round, ooh
(Guitar Solo)
Said Santa to a girl child, "What would please you most to get?"
"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink, and wet"
And then away went Rudolph whizzin' like a Sabrejet
Run, run, Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run, Rudolph, 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round
Run, run, Rudolph, run, run Rudolph
Run, run, Rudolph, run, run Rudolph
Run, run, Rudolph, Randolph ain't too far behind
Isabella: Phineas, who's Randolph?
Phineas: I have no idea.
Background information[]
- This song references the well-known Christmas character of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, created by Robert L. May in 1939 for a promotion for Montgomery Ward department stores and popularized by a famous song written by Johnny Marks (who also co-wrote this song). Randolph, who has never been mentioned outside of this song, apparently did not "go down in history," unlike his famous relative.
- The Sabrejet (officially designated as the F-86 Sabre) was an early fighter jet predominantly used by the United States Air Force during the period of the Korean War (1950-1953).
- This song is one of two holiday related songs used from mid-November through early January during the "Holiday Edition" of "Phineas and Ferb's Rockin' Rollin' Dance Party" at Disney California Adventure; the other being "Christmas is Starting Now".
