Jimmy Fallon, The Roots - Hey Rudy

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

[Verse: Black Thought]
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 been reindeer'd
I said, "Ayo, 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"

[Pre-Chorus: Jimmy Fallon]
Gotta make it through the night shift
Try to figure out where I fit
On the naughty or the nice list

[Chorus: Jimmy Fallon]
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


[Post-Chorus: Jimmy Fallon]
We were singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la"
Now I'm wearing my pajama-mas
Tryna fall asleep, but nah-nah-nah
Ain't nothing like Christmas Eve

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus: Jimmy Fallon]
Gotta make it through the night shift
Try to figure out where I fit
On the naughty or the nice list

[Chorus: Jimmy Fallon]
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

[Post-Chorus: Jimmy Fallon]
We were singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la"
Now I’m wearing my pajama-mas
Tryna fall asleep, but nah-nah-nah
Ain’t nothing like Christmas Eve


[Outro]
Uh, put in a good word for me
Talk to the big man
Santa
