This song's for you.
C G C F G
This is the tale of a reindeer that nobody knows,
C G Amin Dmin G
Shoved down the back and largely ignored on account of a nasal disfigurement.
Dmin Amin
Not unlike Rudolph in that sense,
Dmin Amin
The hallmarks are almost the same.
Dmin C G
Instead of a red shiny nose that brought Rudolph his fame...
G7 C F
Fabian had just... a cavity.
G C F
No nose at all,
G C F
Just a big empty space,
G C G
In the middle of his face.
C G
Just a couple of chambers
G
What are you looking at?
G
D'ya want a piece of this?

Abnormal snouts were surprisingly common in reindeer.
C G
Rudolph and Fabian both fell victim,

Amin Dmin G
To the elves and their cost-cutting measures.
Dmin Amin
In keeping their overheads down,
Dmin Amin
The elves fed the reindeer on reindeer.
Dmin C G
And on top of that, the poor reindeer were also in-bred.
G7 C F
So Fabian had just... a cavity.
G C F
His hooter was lacking.
G C F
Bugger all schnozz!
G C
All this because,
G C F
His dad was also his sister.
G C G
Who he then ate.
G
This chicken tastes funny. Can I have some of yours?

Tragic but true.

Disliked by his peers,
A D G A
This disfigured deer was alone.
D
He watched from afar,

As Rudolph the star,
Bmin F#min G
Would lead all the others back home.
Emin Bmin
But before you get too sympathetic,
Emin Bmin
There's another thing you should know.
Emin
Sure, his nose was upsetting,
D A
But reindeer are not quite that shallow.
A7 D G
'Cause Fabian was... a tosser!
A D G
Not nice at all!
A D G
An arrogant fool!
A D A
A self-serving tool!
D
An absolute face-hole.

Ahhhhhhh...
