1
Everyone knows about Rudolph
2
Our fleet-footed friend from the north
3
Who lights Santa's way through the darkness
4
As he drives his sleigh back and forth
5
But there's someone else we should mention
6
If we want the whole story told
7
He carried the first gift of Christmas
8
More precious than diamonds or gold
9
Nestor was a donkey who seldom laughed or played
10
'Cause no one ever used him in the stable where he stayed
11
And all the camels teased him, the other donkeys too
12
They said, "Look at little Nestor, there's nothing he can do"
13
"Look at little Nestor, his ears hang to his knees
14
When he looks at his reflection, ears are all he sees"
15
Nestor's heart was broken and his eyes were full of tears
16
If only there was somethin' he could do about his ears
17
One dark night, two strangers gave Nestor a surprise
18
They chose him from all others for they loved his gentle eyes
19
A man was called by Joseph, Mary was his bride
20
She needed help to Bethlehem and Nestor's back to ride
21
They traveled through the desert but hadn't gone too far
22
When winter clouds no longer let them see their guiding star
23
But Nestor learned a secret as he listened to the breeze
24
And the angels gave directions to the ears that touched his knees
25
"Look at little Nestor, his ears hang to his knees
26
When he looks at his reflection, ears are all he sees"
27
Nestor's heart was broken and his eyes were full of tears
28
If only there was somethin' he could do about his ears
29
And so it was that Nestor found the manger where they stayed
30
Where kings and wise men bowed before the baby where he lay
31
Mary bore our Saviour and Nestor brought them there
32
A gift of love from God above, for all the world to share
33
Though Rudolph, I just love you, I know you'd want it said
34
Nestor's ears are lovely as a reindeer's nose is red
35
So children, if you're happy when you trim your Christmas trees
36
You might thank a little donkey whose ears hung to his knees
37
"Look at little Nestor, his ears hang to his knees"
38
They shouted as they praised him and his friends were all so pleased
39
Nestor was so happy and his eyes held no more tears
40
Now all the world knows Nestor for his laughter and his ears
