"Dashing through the snow - - on a pair of broken skis - - -"
"Down the hills we go - - - Crashing into trees!"
"The snow is turning red - - I think I'm almost dead - -"
"And now I'm in the hospital with stitches in my head! Oh, -"
"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg! - - -"
"Batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker played ballet! HEY!"
"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Granny got a gun, - - -"
"? ? ?, and shot a man in 1931! HEY!!!"Edit: Oh, it's simple. This is the version broadcast on The Simpsons TV show in 1989 and I must have heard it second-hand from my fellow students who were allowed to watch the Simpsons.
Don't ask, it's not original with me.
Ah yes, famous racial utopias, all of them.

> okay where did you learn that? If that's not a movie reference; it's not not from a TV show; you learn that the way I learned that you learned that - on the playground. You learned that from another eight-year-old another seven-year-old ...
All boiling in a pot
A load of soot came tumbling down
and spoiled the blinking lot
Alternative. The Angel of the Lord came down and eat the blinking lot.
Definitely British. Evidenced by the term 'kidney bean'
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 glows *(like a light bulb)*
All of the other reindeer *(reindeer)*
Used to laugh and call him names *(like Pinochio)*
They never let poor Rudolph *(Rudolph)*
Play 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 all the reindeer loved him *(loved him)*
And they shouted out with glee *(yippee)*
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer *(reindeer)*
You'll go down in history!" *(Like George Washington!")*
a (original?) version is from 1975 on john denver's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_Christmas

Robin flew away
Mr silly bit his willy on the M1 motorway.
I seem to remember hearing the standard US one in the bit at the end of The Cosby Show, which was on free to air TV soon after getting home from school.
Robin laid an egg. Batmobile lost its wheel and the commissioner broke his leg...I think.
However, we both agreed that when comparing the UK(ish) and US(ish) variants, the UK ones are much more fun and colourful: The US ones seem a little, erm, boring!
