Lyrics

Wandering ‘round near the town of San Miguel de Allende
Sue saw a cute white donkey
He looked sad all alone, but how to bring him home
In a donkey taxi? Exactly!

She tied him to a tree with a long green lead
Set off to find him some feed
When she came back she thought he might have been hijacked
He'd gone out, gone walkabout

He was a little white donkey
Un petit âne blanc
Un pequeño burro blanco
Who loved to take walks

Soon the neighborhood was buzzing about a burro on the loose
He was raiding people’s gardens, getting into their produce
He was soon forgiven as the neighbors were smitten
His big brown eyes could mesmerize

One day Sue left home and forgot to take her phone
And once her parrot Pete was sure they were alone
He gave the donkey a wink and started some hijinks, saying
Hey Siri, I’ve got a query…

And thanks to Pete, that donkey
Took a taxi to Tallahatchie
A Lyft to Saint Moritz
An Uber to Vancouver
That donkey was a mover
He took a flight to the Isle of Wight
A boat to the Galapagos
A train to Lake Champlain
He could not be contained

He was a little white donkey
Un petit âne blanc
Un pequeño burro blanco
Who loved to take walks

A New Orleans hotel made the proclamation that
A donkey was there having a vacation
Tasting new pastries with the N’orleans ladies
A burro foray - with beignets

NASA made a fantastical announcement one day
They'd landed on the moon and thought they heard a bray
By the Mexican flag with his duffel bag
Stood a burro astronaut - who'd have thought

He was a little white donkey
Un petit âne blanc
Un pequeño burro blanco
Who loved to take walks

So if you should see a donkey sashaying down your lane
No matter if you live in Paris or Maine
Don't try to hide him from your mom; don’t try to tie him on your lawn
Keep that donkey free like you and me
