Dominick the Donkey (The Italian Christmas Donkey)

Hey, chingedy ching
(Hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(Hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey
(La la la-la la-la la la la la)
(La la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Santa's got a little friend
His name is Dominick
The cutest little donkey
You never see him kick
When Santa visits his paisons
With Dominick he'll be
Because the reindeer cannot
Climb the hills of Italy

Hey, chingedy ching
(Hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(Hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey
(La la la-la la-la la la la la)
(La la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Jingle bells around his feet
And presents on the sled
Hey, look at the mayor's derby
On top of Dominick's head
A pair of shoes for Louie
And a dress for Josephine
The labels on the inside says
They're made in Brooklyn

Hey, chingedy ching
(Hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(Hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey
(La la la-la la-la la la la la)
(La la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Children sing and clap their hands
And Dominick starts to dance
They talk Italian to him
And he even understands

Cumpare sing
Cumpare su
And dance 'sta tarantel
When jusamagora comes to town
And brings do ciuccianello

Hey, Chingedy ching
(Hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(Hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey
(La la la-la la-la la la la la)
(La la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Hey Dominic, want another?
(Hee-haw, hee-haw...)
