Mike the reindeer wants to leave The North Pole
Sick of pulling Santa's sleigh in the cold
Being in the shadow of Rudolph's light is getting old
Mike the reindeer wants to leave The North Pole
Mindy doesn't want her sweet Mike to leave
but she helps him run away the night of Christmas Eve
As they pull into Omaha to deliver gifts
Mike breaks the harness and says farewell with a kiss
When Santa asks what happened
Mindy says "Mike fell... Lost his place in line to the streets below."
Mike the reindeer's finally free
