Donkey Kosh |
| With a donkey on my shoulder |
| And a jackal on my back |
| I’ll carry these, my children, |
| Keep them safe from attack |
| The donkey makes it hard to dance |
| And the jackal sings too loud |
| Little donkey’s getting restless, |
| Getting heavier as it grows |
| And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful, |
| Keeps biting at my nose |
| I would have a lover |
| A husband and a child |
| But the donkey is too jealous |
| And the jackal is too wild |
| Oh, is too wild |
| You ask me why I keep them, oh |
| Why I love them so |
| Why they get away with murder as they grow and grow and grow |
| You ask me why I keep them, oh, oh |
| Why I love them so |
| Why they get away with murder as they grow and grow |
| I keep them 'cause I made them |
| They come from in my heart |
| With each mistake I make, created and torn apart |
| And when it’s time to feed them, |
| Before they go to bed, |
| I give them my confessions baked within their bread |
| And as they sleep, |
| Tucked up tight, |
| The donkey and the jackal, they snort and snuffle in the night. |
| Woah |
| Little donkey’s getting restless, |
| Getting heavier as it grows |
| And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful, |
| Keeps biting at my nose |
