When I tell people, as I now tell you,
That now comes the story about three donkeys in heaven
It has some odd effects
People who have always said
That they don't believe in heaven
Are rather offended at the thought
That donkeys should be allowed in
It seems very illogical
If heaven is for people who are rather nice
Then why not for donkeys who, in the main, are nicer than people
Well, most animals are, don't you agree
Anyway, three donkeys spending an afternoon together in heaven
They'd all been there a very long time
Centuries
By accident they discovered
That they'd all come from the same part of the world
And had arrived in heaven at roughly
Give or take a few years the same time
Very pleasant and interesting for them
They all looked rather like, well, donkeys do
They were lying in the shade
One of them was telling his story
And the other two were listening
Quietly, as perhaps you are
Three donkeys in heaven
In heaven
Three donkeys in heaven
In heaven
Three donkeys in heaven
In heaven
Three donkeys in heaven
In heaven
(donkey noises)
Three donkeys in heaven
In heaven
Three donkeys in heaven
In heaven
