Class Song: "Randolph the Blue-Nosed Muledeer"



Okay, perhaps it's not Rudolph worthy, however, it's funny!

Enjoy our latest class song:

Randolph the Blue-Nosed Mule deer
(tune, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

You know Hairball, and Crackie, and Poppy, and Sloaney
Cat Whisperer, and Tiny Forrest, and Balderina and Pickle Pants

But do you recall…the worst behaved mule deer of all?

Randolph the Blue-Nosed Mule deer, had a very big, blue nose
And wherever he went, he really liked to throw balls of snow

All of the mule deer used run when he came around
They didn’t want to get hit, and fall down with a great big POW!

Then one snowy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say, “Randolph with you arm so strong, can you hit the Grinch with a big snow ball?”

Then all the mule deer loved him and dipped their noses in blue paint Randolph the blue-nosed mule deer said, “My friends all look just like me!”



Merry Christmas,

Mr. G

Class Song: "Mr. G. Turned Into a Reindeer"


Please enjoy our latest class song:

Mr. G. Turned into a Reindeer
(Tune to, “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer”)

Mr. G. turned into a reindeer
In the morning on Christmas Day
He went to bed a normal human
And now he has two horns and four legs

Mr. G. turned into a reindeer
In the morning on Christmas Day
He went to bed a normal human
But now he lives in the forest and eats hay

He woke up and looked in the mirror
And he noticed some strange things
He had a bright and shiny red nose
And fur all over his body and his legs!

Mr. G. turned into a reindeer
In the morning on Christmas Day
If you want to buy him a gift
A bag of carrots would be nice
Or maybe some hay!

Stay tuned for our next class song entitled Randolph the Blue-Nosed Muledeer!

Thanks for reading,
Mr. G
