Words for singing along with the donkeys

The Donkeys Union Song

Come comrades join the chorus
of the donkeys’ serenade
Let us rouse the hottest passions
of us donkeys on parade

Tell the world we’re members
of a glorious old tradition.
We’re the good old Donkey’s Union
full of enterprise and ambition.

We’ve been on the job for ages,
carried Moses and the Great One
in the mountains, plains or deserts
where it frizzles or it freezes

Now we’re loaded with experience
and wisdom of the ages
so we’re not just beasts of burden
or some smudge on history’s pages.

Just ask any Jack or Jenny
what it’s like to be an ass.
They’ll swell with pride and tell you-
we’ve got culture, we’ve got class.

And class they have. A fun piece, Fran, but with a serious message.

That's very cute! I like the rhythm and the rhyme. I can see these donkeys singing.

Dear Foister: I love it but must admit my dear partner, Jim, is the rhymster of this establishment. I particularly appreciated the description of Hoity's voice. Yours, the Secretary

PS You may recall that the Gypsy Queen has a store of inconspicuous ear plugs.
