Auld Lang Syne
Originally collected and rewritten in 1788 by Robert Burns
This version is performed by Home Free

Should Auld Acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should Auld Acquaintance be forgot
And days of Auld Lang Syne

For Auld Lang Syne my dear
For Auld Lang Syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne

And here's a hand my trusty friend
That gives a hand to thine
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne

For Auld Lang Syne my dear
For Auld Lang Syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne

And never brought to mind
Should Auld Acquaintance be forgot
And days of Auld Lang Syne

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Performed by Judy Garland
1944

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were near to us
Will be dear to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Dominick The Donkey
Performed by Lou Monte
1960

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
The Italian Christmas Donkey
Lalalalalalalalala, lalalalalaladidooda

Santa's got a little friend his name is Dominick
The cutest little donkey, you never see him kick
When Santa visits his Paesans with Dominick he'll be
Because the reindeer cannot climb the hills of Italy

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
The Italian Christmas Donkey
Lalalalalalalalala, lalalalalaladidooda

Jingle Bells around his feet and presents on the sled
Hey look at the mayor’s derby, on top of Dominicks head
A pair of shoes for Louie and a dress for Josephine
The label on the inside says they're made in Brook-a-lyn

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
The Italian Christmas Donkey
Lalalalalalalalala, lalalalalaladidooda

Children sing and clap their hands and Dominick starts to dance
They talk Italian to him and he even understands
Cummares' and Cumpare's
Do the dance a tarentell'
When Santa Nicola comes to town and brings il ciucciariello

Ay, Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
It's Dominick the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw
The Italian Christmas Donkey
Lalalalalalalalala, Lalalalalaladidooda

Hee haw hee haw season's greetings! This is a new lyric video starring me, Dominick The Donkey! Join me on my adventures from Italy to New York while we sing...
