Oh my donkey, my donkey,
His head aches, so upon it
The doctor has told him

To wear a woolen bonnet.
To wear a woolen bonnet? To wear a woolen bonnet.
And eat a lot of lollipops, a lot of lollipops.

Oh my donkey, his throat hurts,
And how he was astounded,
The doctor has told him

To wear a scarf around it.
To wear a scarf around it? To wear a scarf around it.
And eat a lot of lollipops, a lot of lollipops.
