THE JACK-ASS SONG
(Irving Burgie / William Attaway) 
Harry Belafonte


Play that theme man.
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
I say the Jackass will jump and bray,
Lordy let him bray, let him bray, everybody!

Now I tell you in a positive way
Don't tie me donkey down there
Cause me donkey will rump and play
Don't tie me donkey down there

Now me donkey gone mad they say
Don't tie me donkey down there
"Cause his eye on a bale o' hay
Don't tie me donkey down there

Now the news really travel fast
Don't tie me donkey down there
When me donkey in the meadow grass
Don't tie me donkey down there

Now me heart is light and gay
Don't tie me donkey down there
He haw `till judgment day
Don't tie me donkey down there
