North Brooklyn Runners: A Community Running Group Serving Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bushwick, and Beyond!

NBR will be meeting on the Northside of the McCarren Park Track at 7:30 p.m. While some people may seek a strict run, others will be doing a holiday run — singing holiday carols while running. Because you’ll get tired if you sing the whole time, we’ll be singing in rounds or various parts.

If you don’t already know the fun version of Rudolph with the commentary, learn it so you can sing along tomorrow. Note: the parts in parentheses are to be shouted by others, call and response style.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose (like a lightbulb)
And if you ever saw him (saw him)
You would even say it glows (like a lightbulb/flashlight)

All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say (Ho! Ho! Ho!)
“Rudolph, with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” (all right!)

Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him)
As they shouted out with glee: (Yippee!)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, (reindeer)
You’ll go down in history! (like Columbus/George Washington)
