The Understudy

Yes, everyone knows of the reindeer that fly Guiding dear Santa through Christmas Eve sky What of one who waits One who anticipates What of the understudy No one even knows his name His heart is always broken No one really is to blame He longs to fly with Santa And he’s ready to compete Yet he feels underrated A “Rockette” with two left feet Yes, he’s the understudy “Swiffer” is how he is called Instead of Christmas flying Dusting is what has him stalled His name, it has been trademarked And he’s mighty rich to boot He’d rather empty pockets Just to wear a Santa suit Next time you think of Rudolph Just remember Swiffer’s name One day he might be flying Understudy is his game
