Dominick the Donkey (The Italian Christmas Donkey)

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing 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 di doo da

Santa's got a little friend his name is Dominick
The cutest little donkey, you never see him kick
When Santa vists his Paesans with Dominick he'll be
Because the reindeer cannot climb the hills of Italy

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing 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 di doo da

Jingle Bells around his feet and presents on da sled
Hey look at the mayors derby, on top of Dominicks head
A pair of shoes for Louie and a dress for Josephine
The label on the inside says there made in Brook-a-lyn

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing 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 di doo da

Children sing and clap their hands and Dominick starts to dance
They talk Italian to him and he even understands
Cummares' and Cumpare's
Do the dance a tarentell'
When Santa Nicola
Comes and brings il ciucciariello

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing 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 di doo da
