00:00Oh

00:30It was the day before Christmas, and all through the hills the reindeer were playing,

00:58enjoying the spills of skating, and coasting, and climbing the willows, and hopscotch, and leapfrog, protected by pillows.

01:18Look, fellas, it's Rudolph.

01:20His nose is a sight. It's red as a beak.

01:28Twice as big and twice as bright.

01:31Looky, looky, I'm Rudolph.

01:34Poor Rudolph. Where most reindeer's noses are brownish and tiny, Rudolph's was red, very large, and quite shiny.

01:44Rudolph!

01:50Go on home, red-nose. Your mama's calling you.

01:56Come, come, Rudolph. Tonight you hang up your stocking.

02:06His nose is a sight. Gets red as a beak twine.

02:08Rudolph, tonight you hang up your stocking.

02:09Rudolph, tonight you hang up your stocking.

02:13The

02:32His nose is a sight. Gets red as a beak.

02:34Twice as big and twice as bright.

02:38Right.

02:46While way, way up north on this dark, foggy night,

02:50awaiting the time for his Christmas Eve flight,

02:53good old Santa.

02:57Mmm.

02:58This fog will be hard to get through.

03:08Quick, quick, get hitched in a hurry.

03:18Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzer.

03:31Right-o!

03:38To keep our direction, we'll have to fly low.

04:00Come down here, quick!

04:06Hi-ho!

04:08Very close!

04:36Hi-ho!

04:37The air was still foggy, the night dark and drear when Santa arrived at the home of the deer.

04:52But all this took time and filled Santa with gloom,

04:57while slowly he groped toward the next reindeer's room.

05:01The lamp wasn't burning.

05:04The glow came instead from Rudolph's red nose at the head of the bed.

05:11And then came the greatest idea in all history.

05:15So Rudolph is told of the dark and delay, the fog and the blackness and losing the way.

05:23I need you tonight to lead all my dear on the rest of our flight.

05:28Dear Mommy and Daddy, I have gone to help Santa.

05:37Don't worry.

05:38Rudolph, that's me.

05:39Don't worry, Rudolph, it's very dark here.

05:50With Rudolph's red nose as a wonderful light,

05:53old Santa flew quickly the rest of the night.

05:56That's a wonderful night.

05:57The night instruments.

05:57That's the wind coming in.

05:58Oh, my dear.

05:59Oh, my dear.

06:00Oh, my dear.

06:01Oh, my dear.

06:02Yeah.

06:02Oh, my dear.

06:03Oh, my dear.

06:04Oh, my dear.

06:05Oh, my dear.

06:06Oh, my dear.

06:06It all went so fast that before it was day, the very last present was given away.

06:36Hear ye, hear ye, a message from Rudolph.

06:44Yes, they'd found Rudolph's message. It's all over town.

06:49Hear ye, hear ye, Rudolph, let the stadium. Come on, come on.

06:54The bad deer who used to do nothing but tease him, well, now they'd do anything only to please him.

07:10Rudolph, my boy, they'll envy you now far and near.

07:25For no greater honor can come to a deer than riding with Santa and guiding my sleigh.

07:32The number one job on the number one day.

07:36I hope you'll continue to keep us from grief.

07:40I hereby appoint you Commander-in-Chief.

07:44And Rudolph just blushed from his head to his toes until his whole fur was as red as his nose.
