🎵 The Donkey in the Lion’s Skin – Song Lyrics 🎵
(Gentle rhythm, 85–90 BPM, silly and warm tone)
Verse 1
One quiet morning, walking slow,
A donkey strolled where trees did grow.
He saw beneath a shady tree—
A lion’s skin, wild and free!
He looked around, no one was near,
And smiled with a funny cheer.
Verse 2
“If I wear this lion fur,
They’ll all be scared, yes sir, yes sir!
I’ll look so big and strong and wild,
Not just a donkey, plain and mild!”
Verse 3
He put it on with careful care,
Then found a stream and stopped to stare.
“Wow!” he said, “Just look at me—
A mighty lion’s what they’ll see!”
Verse 4
He marched along so proud and bold,
To a little farm not far from the fold.
The cows and goats all screamed, “Oh no!”
And ran away, afraid to go!
Verse 5
The donkey chuckled, filled with glee—
“They think a lion’s what they see!”
Verse 6
But then he tried to speak and shout,
And let his donkey voice come out:
“Hee-haw! Hee-haw!” he loudly cried—
And all the animals stopped and spied.
Verse 7
“Wait a minute… That’s no roar!
That’s not a lion anymore!”
“It’s just a donkey!” they all said,
And laughed and chased him as he fled.
Final Verse (Ending)
You may wear clothes from head to toe,
But your true self will always show.
It’s not the outside—bold or smart—
But how you act and speak from heart.
