Donkey Trot

After a busy day of moving presents to Santa’s sleigh, the donkeys decide to dance!

Listen to the composer’s original recording:

and an arrangement commissioned for this website:

Now all the work is done
We moved the presents and
It’s time to do the donkey trot

While our work is fun
It’s even better now for we
Can do the donkey trot
We stand in line
And all the elves
Begin to start their little band
We move our hooves to music now

A little left here
A little right there
A little back here
And a little kick there
We love the donkey trot
How we love the donkey trot!

Step to the left
Step to the right
Step to the back
Keep it all light
Yeah it’s time to do the donkey trot

A little left here
A little right there
Shaking the tail
Wiggle the ears
Yeah we love to do the donkey trot

We are together
Dancing just like one
Santa loves to cheer us on
And as the band plays on
Everyone is having fun
We’re all having fun
As we do the donkey trot

Step to the left
Step to the right
Step to the back
Keep it all light
Yeah it’s time to do the donkey trot

Little left here
Little right there
Shaking the tail
Wiggle the ears
Yeah we love to do the donkey trot

We are together
Dancing just like one
Santa loves to cheer us on
And as the band plays on
Everyone is having fun
We’re all having fun
As we do the donkey trot

Movin’ and groovin’!
How we love doing the donkey trot
How we love doing the donkey trot
