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

Hey and ho and up we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Hey and ho and up we go
Riding on a donkey

Were you ever in Peterborough town
Where the girls walk up and down
Waitin' for the boys to come to town
Riding on a donkey?

Hey and ho and up we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Hey and ho and up we go
Riding on a donkey

And were you ever around the Horn
Where it's always fine and warm
Seein' the lion with a unicorn
Riding on a donkey?

Hey and ho and up we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Hey and ho and up we go
Riding on a donkey
And were you ever in Heron Bay
Where the folks all shout, "Hooray!"
Hey, here comes Johnny with six months' pay
Riding on a donkey

Hey and ho and up we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Hey and ho and up we go
Riding on a donkey

And were you ever in Mon'réal
I'll be going there next fall
Have some fun with a redhead gal
Riding on a donkey

Hey and ho and up we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Hey and ho and up we go
Riding on a donkey
