Deborah Dent had a Donkey so fine!
Marrowbones, cherrystones,
Bundle’em jig.
Cried Debby, I’ll kiss this sweet Donkey of mine,
For sure the dear creature is almost divine;
Look at his eyes, how they sparkle and shine!
He’s an ambling, scambling,
Braying-sweet, turn-up feet,
Mane-cropt, tail-lopt,
High-bred, thistle-fed,
Merry old Bundle’em jig.

In a car the fair ladies at Brighton he drew,
Marrowbones, cherrystones,
Bundle’em jig.
And jogging along with a jolly fat crew,
Quite into the sea for coolness he flew,
And made some fine pastime for dandies to view.
