What are the lyrics to this Christmas song parody? They’ve played it on a local radio station in years past. It goes: Grandma got run over by a reindeer Tell us every year, you friggin’ nerd! _something something_ don’t feel bad for Grandma – That tanked-up bitch got just what she deserved. Quite humoresque. ---

[Here](http://www.always-safe.com/grandma.html) are the lyrics. It looks like you mis-heard a few of them. ---

Are you talking about the real lyrics to GGROBAR? Or is this a parody of the original satire? If you mean the real one: Chorus: Grandma got run over by a reindeer walking home from our house Christmas Eve. You can say there’s no such thing as Santa, but as for me and Grandpa, we believe. She’d been drinking too much egg nog and we begged her not to go. But she forgot her medication and she staggered out the door into the snow. [lyrics in their entirety, which have been edited] From memory, more’s the shame… 😃 ---

No, I’m _not_ talking about the original. It’s a raunchy parody about a liquor-drinking, drug-taking, blow-jobbing evil-bitch Grandma who met her demise at the hands of a paid-off-by-Grandpa Santy Claws. ---

Well, I got one about Grandma getting arrested for DUI [here](http://michaeltsmith.homepage.com/grandma.html) but so far nothing like what you’ve described. However, I am still looking. ---

I remember a really funny version from 1992, after the election on a local radio station: George Bush got run over by Bill Clinton His Christmas won’t be happy '92 George Bush wanted four more years from Santa But he was bad so Santa said “Screw you!” ---

Phobia, I believe Grandpa Got Run Over by a John Deere is by Cledus T. Judd. He sings a lot of country parodies. Conti ---

Ha, I hope no one at work hears me singing along. Sorry for a semi-hijack – isn’t there another comedy Christmas song sung in a Swedish accent, something like, “Well, I yoost go nuts at Christmas . . .” I wouldn’t bring it up here, but I can’t even remember enough of it to start a coherent new thread. Anybody know it? ---

Conti Your absolutely right. I gave that CD to a friend and couldn’t remember the artist. She liked country, I hate country, we both liked humorous songs. ---
