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-oh-ee-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 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-oh-ee-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-oh-ee-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 Santa Nicola comes to town and brings 'u ciucciariell'

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-oh-ee-da)

Hey, Dominick!
Buon Natale!
