Lyrics: 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 Dont tie me donkey down there Cause me donkey will jump and play Dont tie me donkey down there 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 me donkey gone mad they say Dont tie me donkey down there Cause his eye on a bale o hay Dont tie me donkey down there 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 the news really travel fast Dont tie me donkey down there When me donkey in the meadow grass Dont tie me donkey down there 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 me heart is light and gay Dont tie me donkey down there He haw till judgment day Dont tie me donkey down there |
