Audio Advent Calendar #2: "Domenic the Italian Christmas Donkey"

Christmas means peace on earth, goodwill toward men (and women), and…

Novelty songs!

Check out the first verse of Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey, by Lou Monte, a carol in the best New York Italian fuggedaboutit style…

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.

It’s-a spicy meat-a-ball of a carol.
