Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey
(GWR 135) Robert Hurst
OPENER
Grand Square
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 do
Allemande Left & Weave
Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)mIt's Dominick the donkey.
Swing & whirl that pretty girl and Promenade the donkey
La la la, la-la la-la la-la, la la la la-la-la-la-la-la
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
La la la, la-la la-la la-la, la la la la-la-la-la-la-la
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
Jingle bells around his feet, And presents on the sled
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 say,
Allemande Left & Weave
Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw),It's Dominick the donkey.
Swing & whirl that pretty girl and Promenade that donkey
La la la, la-la la-la la-la, la la la la-la-la-la-la-la
CLOSER
Grand Square
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 'ta tarantel
Allemande Left & Weave
Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) It's Dominick the donkey.
Swing & whirl that pretty girl and Promenade that donkey
La la la, la-la la-la la-la, la la la la-la-la-la-la-la
