Were you ever in Quebec
Stowing timber on the deck
Where there's a king with a golden crown
Riding on a donkey?

(Chorus:) Hey ho, and away we go
Donkey riding,
Donkey riding
Hey ho, and away we go
Riding on a donkey.

Were you ever off Cape Horn
Where it's always fine and warm
See the lion and the unicorn
Riding on a donkey?
(Chorus)

Were you ever in Cardiff Bay
Where the folks all shout "Hooray
Here comes Johnny with his three months' pay
Riding on a donkey"?
(Chorus)
