The Philly Specials - Dominick the Donkey Lyrics

Hey, jiggidy-jing (heehaw, heehaw)
It's Dominick, the donkey (donkey)
Jiggidy-jing (heehaw, heehaw) the Italian Christmas donkey (donkey)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ya, da (heehaw, heehaw)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ya, da (heehaw, heehaw)

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

Hey, jiggidy-jing (heehaw, heehaw)
It's Dominick, the donkey (donkey)
Jiggidy-jing (heehaw, heehaw) the Italian Christmas donkey (donkey)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ya, da
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ya, da

Jingle bells around his feet and presents on the sled
Hey, look at the mayor's derby, on top of Dominicks head
A pair of shoes for Louie and a dress for Josephine
The label on the inside says they're made in South Philly

Hey, jiggidy-jing (heehaw, heehaw)
It's Dominick, the donkey (donkey)
Jiggidy-jing (heehaw, heehaw) the Italian Christmas donkey (donkey)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ya, da (heehaw, heehaw)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ya, da (heehaw, heehaw)

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 to town and brings il ciucciariello

Hey, jiggidy-jing (heehaw, heehaw)
It's Dominick, the donkey
Jiggidy-jing (heehaw, heehaw) the Italian Christmas donkey
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ya, da
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ya, da (donkey, donkey)
Donkey, born Italian
