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)
