text: Little donkey on my shoulder
  And a jackal on my back
  Ill carry these, my children
  Keep them safe from attack
  The donkey makes it hard to dance, the jackal sings too loud
  The donkey cries when its alone, and the jackal is too proud
  Little donkey is 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
  Is too wild
  You ask me why I keep them
  Why I love them so
  Why they get away with murder
  As they grow and grow and grow, oh
  I keep them cause I made them
  They come from in my heart
  With each mistake I make
  Created, and torn apart
  And when its time to feed them
  Before they go to bed
  I give them my confessions
  Baked within their bread
  Little donkey is getting restless
  Getting heavier as it grows
  And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful
  Keeps biting at my nose
  Little donkey is getting restless
  Getting heavier as it grows
  And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful
  Keeps biting at my nose
