Everyone knows about Rudolph   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
