Preface
This Christmas song speaks of a simple Christmas Eve gathering and how a grandmother struggles in a snowstorm after getting really drunk from having more eggnog than she can handle. She managed to get caught in the snowstorm because had to acquire her medication probably for dementia because she forgot to bring it to the gathering and in the process is run over by Santa Claus’ reindeer as they were passing by. She is eventually killed. The 2nd and 3rd verses illustrate the Christmas party that took place the following day where everybody is dressed in black. The hilarious part is that everybody acts as if nothing has happened as the Christmas song ends with a forewarning that Santa is undeserving to have a driver's license and that we should all beware.
History of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
This comical Christmas song was penned by Randy Brooks while Elmo and Patsy Trigg Shropshire were the very 1st to performed it during the 1970’s. Because of its freshness and humor, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was later made into an animated movie that was a hit in America for some time.

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer Lyrics
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.
When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.
It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma'swig.
I'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.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
