CHORUS:
1 * * *
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
* * 4 *
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
* 57 1 *
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
2m 57 1 7 57
But as for me and Grandpa we be-lieve


1 * 57 *
.... She'd been drinking too much eggnog
* * 1 *
.... And we begged her not to go
* 17 4 *
.... But she left her medi-cation (forgot)
57 * 1 *
So she stumbled out the door into the snow (And she staggered)
6m * 3m *
.... When they found her Christmas morning (we, in the)
57 * 1 *
.... At the scene of the at-tack
17 * 4 *
.... There were hoof-prints on her forehead (she had)
57 * 1 7 57
And in-criminating Claus marks on her back


1 * 57 *
.... Now we're all so proud of Grandpa
* * 1 *
.... He's been taking this so well
* 17 4 *
.... See him in there watching football
57 * 1 *
Drinking beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel
6m * 3m *
.... It's not Christmas without Grandma
57 * 1 *
.... All the family's dressed in black
17 * 4 *
.... And we just can't help but wonder
57 * 1 *
Should we open up her gifts or send them back

GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER (PAGE TWO)


1 * 57 *
.... Now the goose is on the table
* * 1 *
.... And the pudding made of fig
* 17 4 *
.... And a blue and silver candle (the, candles)
57 * 1 *
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig
6m * 3m *
.... I've warned all my friends and neighbors
57 * 1 *
...... Better watch out for your-selves
6m * 2m *
.... They should never give a license
57 * 1 *
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves
