Christmas Carols - Dominick the 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'll never see him kick.

When Santa visits his paesans,

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 label 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.

Cummares and cumpares

Do the dance 'a tarantell',

When San'a Nicola comes to town,

And brings 'o ciucciarell'.

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! Dominick! Buon Natale!
