Donkey on a journey,
Got to carry Mary
From Galilee to Bethlehem.
Donkey on a journey,
Got to keep on going,
From Galilee to Bethlehem.
Plodding through the desert,
Feeling very thirsty
Underneath the midday sun.
Though he trips and stumbles,
Donkey never grumbles,
From Galilee to Bethlehem.

Clip, clop, clip, clop,
Donkey on a journey,
Clip, clop, clip, clop,
Donkey on a journey,
All the way to Bethlehem.
And down the years we've followed
Every step he made 'cos
Each year in December,
Animals remember
Jesus born in Bethlehem.
So they're celebrating,
They're commemorating
Jesus born in Bethlehem.
Kneeling in their stables
They do what they're able
To worship on their bended knees
As they all remember,
Midnight in December,
Jesus born in Bethlehem.
