    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 incriminating' Claus marks on her back

    My grandma used to sing this song to us (grandkids) when I was a kid. It always cracked us up. She died 20 years ago. I still think of her every time I hear it. She was the best.

      My grandma (my only living grandparent) got run over by a reindeer twice, but somehow survived both incidents. (not even a scratch)
      I don't think anything can kill her, and she's immortal, since the last time I saw her, (in 2006) she said she was going to live to be at least a hundred. And she's getting there.

      A parody I made about what really happened:
      Slow intro:
      Grandma got run over by a reindeer
      I am pretty sure you've heard that song
      Everybody thought that it was Santa
      But I am sad to say that we were wrong
      Chorus:
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Grandpa said that it was done by Santa
      But that's not what my family believes
      Verse 1:
      Grandpa got her drunk on eggnog
      And he begged for her to go (hot sure about that line)
      Then he hid her medication
      And he kicked her out the door into the snow
      When we found her Christmas mornin'
      We saw something very weird
      There were paw prints on her forehead
      There were tread marks on her body from Goodyear
      Chorus:
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Grandpa said that it was done by Santa
      But that's not what my family believes
      Verse 2:
      Grandpa dressed up just like Santa
      Made our car look like a sleigh
      Made our eight dogs look like reindeer
      Then he waited for us all to hit the hay
      Now we all know why our Grandpa
      Has been taking it so well
      He did away with our dear grandma
      Because he wanted to marry cousin Mel (COUSIN MEL?!)
      Chorus:
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Grandpa said that it was done by Santa
      But that's not what my family believes
      3rd verse:
      Now our grandpa is in prison
      He got twenty-five to life
      Mel wants me to be her husband
      Kind of weird, but I want her to be my wife
      We were eating Christmas dinner
      When we got a big surprise
      We heard someone ring our doorbell
      Can't believe it. Grandma somehow had survived
      Chorus:
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Grandpa said that it was done by Santa
      But that's not what my family believes
      (Sing it, Grandma!)
      Chorus: (slightly different)
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Now we know there's no such thing as Santa
      Don't care what everyone else believes
      Song ends with Grandma saying "Merry Christmas."
      I don't know what the title would be. It wouldn't be "Grandma Got Run Over By Fake Reindeer" because that would be too much of a spoiler.

      2. I'm pretty sure she couldn't have left the house that late for Santa and his reindeer to run her over. I'm guessing she left between 6 and 9 PM. Plus they're flying reindeer. So unless they were flying very low, or she was very tall, they wouldn't be able to hit her.
      It had to be Grandpa.😁

According to Patsy Trigg's website,the song hit #1 in Billboard Magazine and remained there for 5 years in a row, ahead of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas."

    personally it always reminds me of a maths exam I had in 12th grade during Christmas season. I discovered the song the day before and couldn’t stop thinking about it during the exam. It was distracting but at least I was in a cheerful mood because of it xD I passed and I remember it as the best exam I ever had, not because it went so well but because how much fun I had while taking it xDD

      Somebody needs to make a parody of this song about that. I'm thinking about the lyrics.
      parody I made about what really happened:
      Slow intro:
      Grandma got run over by a reindeer
      I am pretty sure you've heard that song
      Everybody thought that it was Santa
      But I am sad to say that we were wrong
      Chorus:
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Grandpa said that it was done by Santa
      But that's not what my family believes
      Verse 1:
      Grandpa got her drunk on eggnog
      And he begged for her to go
      Then he hid her medication
      And he kicked her out the door into the snow
      When we found her Christmas morning
      We saw something very weird
      There were paw prints on her forehead
      There were tread marks on her body from Goodyear
      Chorus:
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Grandpa said that it was done by Santa
      But that's not what my family believes
      Verse 2:
      Grandpa dressed up just like Santa
      Made our car look like a sleigh
      Made our eight dogs look like reindeer
      Then he waited for us all to hit the hay
      Now we all know why our Grandpa
      Has been taking it so well
      He did away with our dear grandma
      Because he wanted to marry cousin Mel (COUSIN MEL?!)
      Chorus:
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Grandpa said that it was done by Santa
      But that's not what my family believes
      Verse 3:
      Now our grandpa is in prison
      He got twenty-five to life
      Mel wants me to be her husband
      Kind of weird, but I want her to be my wife
      We were eating Christmas dinner
      When we got a big surprise
      We heard someone ring our doorbell
      Can't believe it. Grandma somehow had survived
      Chorus:
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Grandpa said that it was done by Santa
      But that's not what my family believes
      (Sing it, Grandma!)
      Chorus: (slightly different)
      Grandma got run over by fake reindeer
      Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
      Now we know there's no such thing as Santa
      Don't care what everyone else believes
      Song ends with Grandma saying "Merry Christmas."
      I don't know what the title would be. It wouldn't be "Grandma Got Run Over By Fake Reindeer" because that would be too much of a spoiler.

      2. Santa and the reindeer are flying in the sky. So unless they were flying very low, or Grandma was very tall, there's o way they could have run her over.

    This has been my favorite Christmas song since it came out in the 80s.

    I used to watch the shitty animated movie with my grandpa growing up like every Christmas. God I miss that man. Love you grandpa, thanks for putting up with my silly cartoons

    I was at a yard sale this weekend and picked up this CD. I played it in the car and now my wife says she can't get this song out of her head. Best yard sale purchase ever. 😂

    This is my go-to music every year when baking "Plätzchen" for Christmas. Let me tell you how incredibly happy I am for having found this song :D

    This song always makes me giggle. It's sure to restore my Christmas spirit when it starts flagging.

    It's 2021. But it's my first time hearing this "adorable"song! 🤣 Heard it on the radio, then had to have it! 💖 What would Christmas be without a hilly billy song? 🤣

    My mother played this every year for me when I was young. She passed awy this past year, and what better way to commemorate her than play this on repeat?
