He'll Save Children

Because John and I were not successful in getting children to sing with us last night we failed to answer a very important question: do British children sing the version of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" with exclamations, and if so, do they exclaim "like George Washington" after the line "You'll go down in history"?

Because, you know, he'll save children, but not the British children. (Fair warning: some people might find this video offensive.)

What do you exclaim when you sing Rudolph? This is how I sing it, and John took issue with some of my exclamations.

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb)
And if you ever saw it (saw it)
You would even say it glows (like a flash light)
All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say (ho ho ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him (loved him)
As they shouted out with glee (yippee)
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (reindeer)
You'll go down in history (like George Washington)
