Lyrics
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
– Ugogo wagwazwa inyathi
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve
– Ukuhamba ekhaya usuka endlini Yethu Ngokhisimusi
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
– Ungasho ukuthi ayikho Into efana Nosanta
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
– Kodwa mina Nomkhulu, siyakholelwa
She’d been drinkin’ too much eggnog
– Wayephuza kakhulu i-egggnog
And we’d begged her not to go
– Futhi sasimncenge ukuba angayi
But she forgot her medication
– Kodwa wakhohlwa imithi yakhe
And she staggered out the door into the snow
– Futhi waphuma ngomnyango wangena eqhweni
When we found her Christmas mornin’
– Lapho simthola ekuseni Ngokhisimusi
At the scene of the attack
– Endaweni yesehlakalo
She had hoof prints on her forehead
– Wayenezimpawu zezinyawo ebunzini lakhe
And incriminating Claus marks on her back
– Futhi wafaka Uclaus marks icala emhlane wakhe
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
– Ugogo wagwazwa inyathi
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve
– Ukuhamba ekhaya usuka endlini Yethu Ngokhisimusi
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
– Ungasho ukuthi ayikho Into efana Nosanta
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
– Kodwa mina Nomkhulu, siyakholelwa
Now we’re all so proud of Grandpa
– Manje sonke siyaziqhenya Ngogogo
He’s been takin’ this so well
– Ubelokhu ekuthanda kahle lokhu
See him in there watchin’ football
– Wambona lapho ebuka ibhola
Drinkin beer and playin’ cards with cousin Mel
– Ukuphuza ubhiya nokudlala amakhadi nomzala Umel
It’s not Christmas without Grandma
– Akukhona Ukhisimusi ngaphandle Kukagogo
All the family’s dressed in black
– Wonke umndeni ugqoke okumnyama
And we just can’t help but wonder:
– Futhi asikwazi ukuzibamba kodwa siyazibuza:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
– Ingabe kufanele sivule izipho zakhe noma sizibuyisele?
(Send them back!)
– (Zibuyisele emuva!)

You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
– Ungasho ukuthi ayikho Into efana Nosanta
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
– Kodwa mina Nomkhulu, siyakholelwa
Now the goose is on the table
– Manje i goose isetafuleni
And the pudding made of fig, ah
– Futhi i-pudding eyenziwe ngomkhiwane, ah
And the blue and silver candles
– Namakhandlela aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nesiliva
That would have just matched the hair in grandma’s wig
– Lokho kwakuyofana nje nezinwele ezisewig kagogo
I’ve warned all my friends and neighbors
– Ngiye ngaxwayisa bonke abangane bami nomakhelwane bami
“Better watch out for yourselves
– “Kungcono uziqaphele
They should never give a license
– Akufanele neze banikeze ilayisense
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.”
– Kumuntu oshayela isileyi futhi adlale nama-elf.”

You can say there’s no such thing as Santa’s
– Ungasho ukuthi ayikho into efana Nekasanta
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
– Kodwa mina Nomkhulu, siyakholelwa
(Sing it, Grandpa!)
– (Cula, Mkhulu!)
