"Dominick The Donkey"
(Ray Allen / Wandra Merrell / Sam Saltzberg)

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey.
Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw.
De Italian Christmas Donkey.
Lalalalalalalalala. lalalalalaladidooda.

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.
De Italian Christmas Donkey.
Lalalalalalalalala. lalalalalaladidooda.

Jingle Bells around his feet and presents on da sled.
Hey look at da mayors derby, on top of Dominicks head.
A pair of shoes for Louis and a dress for Josephine.
Da label on de inside says dare made in Brook-a-lee.

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey.
Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw.
De Italian Christmas Donkey.
Lalalalalalalalala. lalalalalaladidooda.

Children sing and clap dare hands and Dominick starts ta dance.
Dey talk Italian to him and he even understands

Cumpare sing,
Cumpare su,
And dance 'sta tarantella.
When Santa Nicola comes to town,
And brings lu ciucciariello

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey.
Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw.
De Italian Christmas Donkey.
Lalalalalalalalala. lalalalalaladidooda.

Hey, Dominic! Buone Natale!
Hee-haw hee-haw hee-haw-hee-haw...
