paul prestipino - the donkey song lyrics
a man was hobbling up a hill
humming a song (la la la la) about a girl
along the way he fell upon a
donkey sitting by a tree
with head in hands elbows on knees
the poor ass could not stop hiccuping
“friend, i’ll fetch a glass of water”
said the man but deep down snorted
“serves you right for drinking so much wine”
four days later he returned the
donkey one inch had not moved
“hey drunken fool i’ve brought you water”
the ass slowly raised his head
his face was wet, his eyes were red
in his cupped hands a puddle he had shed
“sir, i need not your water
grief, not wine, leaves my breath shorter
it’s something you would not understand”
the man sat down under the tree
a spot of shade thrown by the leaves
“now tell me, donkey, for what cause you weep”
the donkey dried his eyes
staring at nothing, paralysed
“oh come now donkey how bad can it be?”
“i feel my soul’s been broken
for the one i love has stolen
every thought that was born in my heart”
(la la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la la)
the man said “donkey, why this pain?
you know, for an ass you’ve got quite a handsome face”
“well thank you sir i’ve heard that speech before
so best you be on your way
hold your tongue regarding my pain
right now it’s the one thing i’ve got left”
the man hobbled away, humming his song (la la la la)
the donkey stayed
there he remained until the season changed
(la la la la la la oh la di)
(la la la la la la oh)
(la di la dum la di la dum)
(la di la di di da dum)
pirouetting
in my bones there is this cell
in my bones (in my soul) there is this cell
which just keeps
pirouetting
(la lo la lo la la lo)
(la lo la lo la la lo)
(la lo la lo la la lo)
(la lo la lo la la lo)
(bom+bom+bom+bom)
(bom+bom+bom+bom)

(bom boh bah bah)
(bah bam bom+bom)
(bah boh bah bom+bom)
(bah bah boh)
(bah bam bom+bom)

(bam+bam+bam+bam+bam)
(aren’t you beautiful?)
(aren’t you beautiful?)
(aren’t you beautiful?)
(aren’t you beautiful?)
(aren’t you beautiful?)
