Donkey Donk

For the first time this year I attempted my holiday shopping. It was unsuccessful and ended up as hours spent looking at stuff that I want and like. I'm absolutely out of gift ideas. Electronics, clothes, shoes, jewelry, chocolate? Who doesn't like chocolate? I think I'm trying to hard to be original. Maybe gift certificates isn't such a bad idea. 2006, the year of the gift certificates ... lame! Ahhhh ... frustrating! At this point, I'm all for a group trip to Vegas this year. I should have joined in on Choke and Brown's Vegas chants way back when. They had the right idea. I wouldn't mind being somewhere warmer though ... a cruise would be nice!

Although most of us prefer a trip to Vegas, I know it's just not going to happen. I'll be taking last minute trips to the mall and making spontaneous gift purchases. Will he/she use this? Will he/she like it? Those are nice shoes ... I need new shoes! BTW, not a hint ... I don't need shoes! Till then, I'll sing "Dominic the Donkey" with hope for some inspiration on holiday gift ideas ... hee-haw, hee-haw ... It's Dominic the Donkey!

Dominic The Donkey
Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.

Santa's got a little friend,
His name is Dominick.
The cutest little donkey,
You never see him kick.
When Santa visits his paisons,
With Dominick he'll be.
Because the reindeer cannot,
Climb the hills of Italy.

Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.

Jingle bells around his feet,
And presents on the sled.
Hey! Look at the mayor's derby,
On top of Dominick's head.
A pair of shoes for Louie,
And a dress for Josephine.
The labels on the inside says,
They're made in Brooklyn.

Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.

Children sing, and clap their hands,
And Dominick starts to dance.
They talk Italian to him,
And he even understands.
Cumpare sing,
Cumpare su,
And dance 'sta tarantel.
When jusamagora comes to town,
And brings du ciuccianello.

Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
