RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (with kid's additons)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb)
And if you ever saw it (saw it)
You would even say it glowed (like a stop light)
All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say (Ho, ho, ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him (loved him)
And they shouted out with glee (ha, ha, ha)
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)
You'll go down in history...(like George Washington)

Rudolf the red nosed cowboy
Had a very shiney gun
And if you ever saw it,
You would turn around and run.
All of the other cowboys
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolf
Join in any poker games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
The sherriff came to say,
"Rudolf with your gun so bright,
would you kill my wife tonight?"
Then how the cowboys loved him.
And they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolf the red nosed cowboy,
you'll be hanging from a tree."

Hrodulf the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Modern English translation)
Here begins the deeds of Rudolph, Tundra-Wanderer
Lo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer --
That beast didn't have unshiny nostrils!
The goodly nose-cartilage glittered and glowed.
The hoof-bearers taunted him with proud words;
The comrades wouldn't allow wretched Hrodulf
To join the reindeer games.
Then, on Christmas Eve bound in storms
Santa Claus remembered that, spoke formally to him:
"Dear night-sighted friend, nose-bright one!
You, Hrodulf, shall lead my adorned rapid-wagon!"
Then the sky-flyers praised their lead-deer --
There was gladness and music; one of the horned ones sang
"Lo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer,
Your fame spreads broadly, you are renowned!"

"Randolph the Bow-Legged Cowboy" is in Josepha Sherman & T.K.E. Weisskopf's Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts: The Subversive Folklore of Childhood (Little Rock: August House, 1995, pp. 146-47):
Version one:
Randolph the bow-legged cowboy
Had a very shiney gun.
And if you ever saw it,
You would surely make you run.
All of the other cowboys
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Randolph
Join in any cowboy games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
The sherriff came to say,
"Randolph with your gun so bright,
Won't you shoot my wife tonight?"
Then how the cowboys loved him
And they shouted out with glee,
"Randolph the bow-legged cowboy,
You'll go to the penitentiary!"
(Author Sherman, New York City, late 1960s-early 1970s.)

H Αιμιλία η Χνουδωτή Χελώνα
είχε κώλο φωτεινό
και αν του "τον ακουμπούσες" 
χαιρότανε σαν το χαζό
