Changes: We're a Couple of Misfits

Revision as of 08:17, 11 November 2015

"We're a Couple Of Misfits" is a song originally featured in the 1964 Rankin/Bass Christmas special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It is sung by Rudolph and Hermey when they decide to be independent and strike out on their own. Due to inclusion of the special's extended ending in 1965, it was replaced by "Fame and Fortune" from then until 1998. However, in recent airings, the "Fame and Fortune" footage is now used when it is played, with a few lines removed.

Song-We're a Couple of Misfits (Christmas in July version) — Rudolph and Frosty sing the song in *Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July*.

The song was reused in Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, in which Rudolph and Frosty sing it at the end. The lyrics are mostly the same there, but with Hermey's solo verse rewritten as one fitting Frosty.

Lyrics

Original version

Note: Lyrics highlighted in red text were only used in the full version.

Both: We're a couple of misfits,

We're a couple of misfits.

What's the matter with misfits?

That's where we fit in.

We're not daffy and dilly,

Don't go 'round willy nilly.

Seems to us kinda silly,

That we don't fit in.

We may be

Different from the rest.

Who decides the test

Of what is really best?

We're a couple of misfits,

We're a couple of misfits.

What's the matter with misfits?

That's where we fit in.

Rudolph: Why am I such a misfit?

I am not just a nitwit!

I'm a dear of a reindeer,

Why don't I fit in?

Hermey: Why am I such a misfit?

I am not just a nitwit!

They can't fire me, I QUIT!

Seems I don't fit in.

Both: We may be

Different from the rest.

Who decides the test

Of what is really best?

We're a couple of misfits,

We're a couple of misfits.

What's the matter with misfits?

That's where we fit in!
