Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hey! Chingedy ching (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
[Verse 1]
Santa's got a little friend, his name is Dominick
The cutest little donkey, you never see him kick
When Santa visits his paisans with Dominick, he'll be
Because the reindeer cannot climb the hills of Italy
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 South Philly
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Children sing and clap their hands, and Dominick starts to dance
They talk Italian to him, and he even understands
Cummares and cumpares too, they dance 'a tarantelle
When Sannanicola comes to town, and brings 'u ciucciarello
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Hey! Dominick!
Buon Natale!
