[Verse] You know essays and theses And research so grand You know journals and footnotes All meticulously planned [Verse 2] But do you recall The most distinguished deer of all Rudolph the Academic Reindeer Scholar bright and standing tall [Chorus] Rudolph with your brain so bright Won"t you guide our minds tonight With your knowledge shining clear Lead our studies far and near [Verse 3] In the library late he stays Pouring over pages dull and gray But his insights brought new light To the subjects dark as night [Bridge] The other deers used to jest Never giving him a rest But Rudolph showed them all With citations ten feet tall [Chorus] Rudolph with your brain so bright Won"t you guide our minds tonight With your knowledge shining clear Lead our studies far and near
