Nestor The Long Eared Christmas Donkey Lyrics

Everyone knows about Rudolph
our fleet-footed friend from the north
who lights santa's way through the darkness
as he drives his sleigh back and forth.

But there's someone else we should mention
if we want the whole story told
he carried the first gift of christmas
more precious than diamonds or gold.

Nestor was a donkey
who seldom laughed or played
cause no one ever used him
in the stable where he stayed.

Everybody teased him
and the other donkeys too
they said
"Look at little Nestor, there's nothing he can do!"

Look at little Nestor, he's got ears that drag the ground
they whispered as they mocked him, but he heard every sound.

Nestor's heart was broken,and his eyes were full of tears
if only there was something he could do about his ears.

Look at little Nestor,his ears hang to his knees
when he looks at his reflection, ears are all he sees.

Nestor was a donkey
who seldom laughed or played
cause no one ever used him
in the stable where he stayed.

All the camels teased him
and the other donkeys too
they said
"look at little Nestor,there's nothing he can do."

Look at little Nestor,his ears hang to his knees
when he looks at his reflection, ears are all he sees.

if only there was something he could do about his ears.

Look at little Nestor, he's got ears that drag the ground
they whispered as they mocked him, but he heard every sound.

Nestor's heart was broken,and his eyes were full of tears
if only there was something he could do about his ears.

One dark night two strangers gave Nestor a surprise
they chose him from all others for they loved his gentle eyes
the man was called by Joseph, and Mary was his bride
she needed help to Bethlehem and Nestor's back to ride.

They traveled through the desert, but hadn't gone too far
when winter clouds no longer let them see their guiding star

Nestor had a secret, only he could hear the sound
as the angels gave directions to the ears that dragged the ground.

And so it was that Nestor found the manger where they stayed
where kings and wise men bowed before a baby where he layed
Mary bore our saviour, and Nestor brought them there
a gift of love from god above, for all the world to share.

Look at little Nestor, he's got ears that drag the ground
they shouted as they praised him, and his friends all gathered around.

Nestor's heart was happy, and his eyes held no more tears
now all the world knows Nestor for his laughter and his ears.

Oh Rudolph, I just love you, I know you'd want it said
Nestor's ears are lovely as reindeer's nose is red
so children if you're happy when you trim your christmas tree,
you might thank the little donkey whose ears hung to his knees.

Look at little Nestor, he's got ears that drag the ground
they shouted as they praised him, and his friends all gathered around.

Nestor's heart was happy, and his eyes held no more tears
now all the world knows Nestor for his laughter and his ears.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
