Hey Rudy (with The Roots) Songtext
von Jimmy Fallon & The Roots

Hey, Rudy
Keep on lighting up the night with your red nose
(Hey, Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down)
I can′t sleep 'cause I swear I saw you fly by my window
(Hey, Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down)

Yo, it was December 24th at 30 Rock after dark
I had seen somebody tryna put his sled in the park
So I approached him very slowly, I was nervous and scared
I really wasn′t aware that I was being reindeer'd
I said, "Hey, yo, Rudy, it's that part of the movie
You the navigator, truly, so time to sock it to me
Your nose is like a ruby, let′s seize the opportunity, fly
And where we go is up to you to decide"

Gotta make it through the night shift
Try to figure out where I fit
On the naughty or the nice list


Hey, Rudy
Keep on lighting up the night with your red nose
(Hey, Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down)
I can′t sleep 'cause I swear I saw you fly by my window
(Hey, Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down)

We were singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la"
Now I′m wearing my pajama-mas
Tryin' to fall asleep, but nah-nah-nah
Ain′t nothing like Christmas Eve

Gotta make it through the night shift
Try to figure out where I fit
On the naughty or the nice list

Hey, Rudy
Keep on lighting up the night with your red nose
(Hey, Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down)
I can't sleep ′cause I swear I saw you fly by my window
(Hey, Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down)

We were singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la"
Now I'm wearing my pajama-mas
Tryin' to fall asleep, but nah-nah-nah
Ain′t nothing like Christmas Eve

(Uh, put in a good word for me)
(Off to the big man, Santa)
