Lyrics[]

Movie Version[]

Hermey: Keep your chin up

Keep your shoulders back

And face the world with pride

So, what if you're a little bit different?

You're still bona fide

Stick your nose out

Hold your antlers high

Enjoy the world you see

So, what if you're a little bit funny?

Hey, ya still got me!

Rudolph: We're just a little bit

Oh, just a little

Hermey: We stand out from the rest

Rudolph: Golly, but I just don't fit

Hermey: Hey, don't even think of it!

Rudolph: Not even for a little bit?

Hermey: The situation's delicate

We'll find a fit!

Rudolph: You're such a wit!

Hermey: And you're a major benefit!

Both: Oh…

Rudolph: Me?

Hermey: So keep your chin up

Keep your shoulders back

Both: And face the world with pride

So what if we're both kinda loony?

So what if we're both kinda toony?

So what if we're both kinda spoony?

Spoony…

Toony…

Loony…

We're just fine!

Hermey: Hey, I'm not just a dental elf…

Rudolph: You're a monumental elf!

Hermey: We're happy as can be!

Rudolph: Even if I'm down and out?

Hermey: In a hole, I'll pull ya out!

Rudolph: You're the coolest of the cool!

Hermey: Remember elves and reindeer rule!

Rudolph: You think that's true?

Hermey: I do, don't you?

Just look at all the things we do!

Both: Oh…

Rudolph: Really?

Hermey: So keep your eyes bright

Both: Take a real deep breath

And hold your head up high!

Hermey: Remember, don't ever feel crummy

'Cause I am your personal chummy!

Rudolph: We're really remarkably plummy…

Yes, plummy…

Hermey: Not glummy…

Both: Old chummy…

We're perfectly fine!

Hermey: Keep your chin up

Hermey: Remember the story about the ugly duckling oh so long ago

All the other ducks would laugh at him as he paddle to and fro

But then one day he woke up and he really had it going on

Yesterday's ugly duckling is tomorrow's gorgeous swan

Those ducks had a cow those slackers

They all went milk and crackers

Rudolph: Really?

Hermey: Really!

Rudolph: Really?

Hermey: Really!

Both: Oh…

Hermey: So keep your chin up

Keep your antlers straight

And give it all you've got

You always can count on your buddy

Rudolph: Hey, that means a lot

Hermey: Keep your eyes bright

We're a real big grin

And join the reindeer race

So what if we're a little bit different

We'll find our own place

Hey, I'm not just a dental elf…

Rudolph: You're a monumental elf!

Hermey: We're happy as can be!

Rudolph: Even if I'm down and out?

Hermey: In a hole, I'll pull ya out!

Rudolph: You're the coolest of the cool!

Hermey: Remember elves and reindeer rule!

Rudolph: You think that's true?

Hermey: I do, don't you?

Just look at all the things we do!

Both: Oh…

Yes, plummy…
