Holiday Song: Santa's Management Problem

A couple years ago, I wrote and put together a basement version of a holiday song. It's about Santa having a bit of a management problem with his recalcitrant reindeer -- from a reindeer's point of view. A little break from your business reading...

Lyrics...


THE REINDEER SONG (CAN'T WAIT FOR MORNING)
K. Maney


On Dasher on Donner and Vixen
Pretty soon he's gonna get to Blitzen
That's me
I got an attitude
Cuz like you kids I can't wait for morning too

Two billion rooftops before break of day
Someone call the ASPCA
It's cruel
What this guy puts me through
Yeah, like you kids I can't wait for morning too

You might think I get along with the team
But halfway through the night it's enough to make me scream
Comet's such a burnout
Cupid's just a flirt
And that Rudolph always thinks he's the star of the show
When the only thing he's got is a honker that can glow
Whoopee

Yeah Santa Claus may be coming to town
But, man, I wish that dude would lose 90 pounds
My knees
I need some Advil soon
Cuz like you kids I can't wait for morning too

You might think I get along with the team
But halfway through the night it's enough to make me scream
Prancer's such a whiner
Vixen's dishing dirt
You try defying physics every year in the snow
I wish I could retire to a Lapland bungalow
Oh yeah

So merry Christmas and happy New Year
From a reindeer mutineer
That's me
I got an attitude
Cuz like you kids I can't wait for morning too
Cuz like you kids I can't wait for morning too
