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 evey used him in the stable where he stayed
And all the camels
teased him, 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
Nestor's heart was broken and his eyes were full of
tears
If only there was somethin' 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
A man was called by Joseph, Mary was his bride
She needed help to Bethlehem and
Nestor's back to ride
They travelled through the desert but hadn't gone too far
When
winter clouds no longer let them see their guiding star
But Nestor learned a secret as he
listened to the breeze
And the angels gave directions to the ears that touched his
knees
Look at little Nestor, his ears hang to his knees
When he looks at his
reflection, ears are all he sees
Nestor's heart was broken and his eyes were full of
tears
If only there was somethin' he could do about his ears
And so it was that
Nestor found the manger where they stayed
Where kings and wise men bowed before the baby where
he lay
Mary bore our Saviour and Nestor brought them there
A gift of love from God above
for all the world to share
Though, Rudolph, I just love you, I know you'd want it
said
Nestor's ears are lovely as a reindeer's nose is red
So children, if you're happy
when you trim your Christmas trees
You might thank a little donkey whose ears hung to his
knees
Look at little Nestor, his ears hang to his knees
They shouted as they praised
him and his friends were all so pleased
Nestor was so happy and his eyes held no more
tears
Now all the world knows Nestor for his laughter and his ears | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
