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
