Lyrics

GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER
Lyrics, as performed by Those Dreaded Gnats

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our hut, Christmas Eve
You can say thereÂ?s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now sheÂ?d been smokinÂ? too much ganja (drinkinÂ? Jamaican eggnog)
And she had trouble just to stand
But sheÂ?d left her medication
So she stumbled out the door into the sand

When they found her Christmas morning
At the scene of the attack
There were hoof prints on her forehead
And incriminatinÂ? Claus marks on her back

Chorus

Now weÂ?re all so proud of Grandpa
HeÂ?s been takinÂ? this so well
See him in there watchinÂ? soccer
DrinkinÂ? rum and playinÂ? cards with cousin Mel

ItÂ?s not Christmas without grandma
All the familyÂ?s dressed in black
And we just canÂ?t help but wonder
Should we open up our gifts or send them back?

Chorus

Now the Jerk Chicken is on the table
And the mango mixed with fig
And a blue and silver candle
Just like those dreadlocks in olÂ? GrandmaÂ?s wig

IÂ?ve warned all my friends and neighbours
Better watch out for yourselves
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves

Chorus
