The reindeer were frightened so much by the fight
They took to their heels in the dead of the night.
They all ran away and nobody knew whither
And poor dear old Santa is now in a dither,
For how can he reach all the girls and the boys
Without any team to deliver his toys.
If you know a way you can help him, you’d better
Sit right down this minute and write him a letter.
