Tingalayo, run my little donkey run
Tingalayo, run my little donkey run
My donkey hee, my donkey haw
My donkey sleep in a bed of straw
My donkey short, my donkey wide
Don't get to close to his backside
chorus
My donkey walk, My donkey talk
My donkey eat with a knife and fork
My donkey eat, My donkey sleep
My donkey kick with his two kind feet
chorus
I go out to play, m'neighbour she say
'Take all your friends and you go away
I say, 'It's true you belong in the zoo
'Cause all of the monkey they look like you'
chorus
M'teacher mad, M'teacher sad
'Cause all the little children actin' so bad
The pencil fly hit M'teacher in the eye
And now m'poor teacher she start to cry
chorus
You can sing this slow, you can sing this fast
You can sing this sittin' on the gra**
You can sing this slow, you can sing this fast
You can sing this sittin' on the gra**
chorus -- repeat (even during the fading out)
