Rudolph was under the weather
He had to call in sick
So he got on the horn to his cousin Leroy Who lived out in the sticks
He said "Santa's really countin' on me
And I hate to pass the buck"
Leroy said "Hey, I'm on my way"
And he jumped in his pickup truck

When Leroy got to the North Pole
All the reindeer snickered and laughed
They'd never seen a deer in overalls And a John Deere tractor hat
But Santa stepped in and said "Just calm down"
Cause we've all got a job to do
And like it or not, Leroy's in charge
And he's gonna be leadin' you"

And it was Leroy, the Redneck Reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Deliverin' toys to all the good ole boys And girls along the way
He's just a down home, party-animal
Two-stepping across the sky
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell And made history that night

Before that night was over
Leroy had changed their tune
He had'em scootin' a hoof on every single roof
By the light of the neon moon
Santa wrapped his bag with a dixie flag
He was havin' the time of his life.
And you could hear him call
"Merry Christmas to ya'll
And to all of ya'll a goodnight"

He mixed jingle bells with rebel yell
And made history that night
