I Came Upon A Roadkill Deer by Bob Rivers Lyrics

I came upon a roadkill deer
A sorrowful sight to behold
He lay upon the highway's edge
His body was stiff and cold

I bet he never saw the car
Careening through the snow
The lights shone brightly in his eyes
And then they laid him low

I came upon a roadkill deer
And lifted him off the road
We'll all enjoy a Christmas feast
Of Bambi sloppy joes

Be careful of those gravel bits
They really get stuck in your teeth
We'll place the antlers from his head
Upon our holiday wreath

(I came upon a roadkill deer)
(A sorrowful sight to behold)
He gave his all to bring good cheer
As thumper mistletoe
