Story Behind The Song
Jim likes kids to look at traditional experiences with "new" eyes. So he asks them to see Christmas through the eyes of the reindeer. Rudolph gets all the press (and even his own song) so why shouldn't the other reindeer get more credit?

Lyrics
Reindeer Blues
©1996 James Brian Coffey
I?m unhappy as you can see.
I?ve got a few things that are buggin? me.
Like how am I supposed to get this sleigh off the ground
With a guy in a red suit who weighs over 300 pounds?
I?ve got those reindeer blues.
I?ve got those reindeer blues.
Hey, Santa, are you listenin'?
I?ve got some news for you.
I have got those reindeer blues.
Bein? a reindeer isn?t as nice as you think.
Why, the pay is lousy and the benefits stink.
How can you make a livin? as a poor reindeer
When you only have a job one day of the year?
I?ve got those reindeer blues.
I?ve got those reindeer blues.
Hey, Santa, are you listenin'?
I?ve got some news for you.
I have got those reindeer...
"You're drivin' me insanedeer!"
I have got those reindeer blues.
