The Jack‐Ass Song Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Play that theme man

Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
I say the Jackass will jump and bray
Lordy, let him bray, let him bray, everybody!

Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray

Now I tell you in a positive way
Don′t tie mi donkey down there
'Cause mi donkey will rump and play
Don′t tie mi donkey down there

Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
(Once again now)
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray

Now mi donkey gone mad, they say
Don't tie me donkey down there
'Cause his eye on a bale o′ hay
Don′t tie me donkey down there


Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray

Now the news really travel fast
Don't tie mi donkey down there
When mi donkey in the meadow grass
Don′t tie mi donkey down there

Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
(Around the corner)
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray

Now me heart is light and gay
Don't tie mi donkey down there
He haw ′til judgment day
Don't tie mi donkey down there


Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
(Once again now)
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
(Around the corner)
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
(Once again now)
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
(Down the road now)
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
