Despite the general awfulness of the Christmas song there are however always exceptions to the rule and I have a short list of personal favourites
Without
exception all my choices not only include the song but the best performer of
that song and so in no particular order here is my twenty first selection.
Dominick the Donkey
Written by Ray Allen, Sam Saltzberg and
Wandra Merrell
Performed by Lou Monte
Santa's
got a little friend his name is Dominick.
The cutest little donkey, you never see him kick.
When Santa visits his Paesans with Dominick he'll be.
Because the reindeer cannot climb the hills of Italy.
(Chorus)
Ay,
Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey.
jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw.
De Italian Christmas Donkey.
Lalalalalalalalala. lalalalalaladidooda.
Jingle Bells around his feet and presents on da sled.
Hey look at da mayor’s derby, on top of Dominick’s head.
A pair of shoes for Louis and a dress for Josephine.
Da label on de inside says dare made in Brook-a-lee.
(Chorus)
Children sing and clap dare hands and Dominick starts ta dance.
Dey talk Italian to him and he even understands
