Don't Let Me Go
[Donkey]

[Intro]

Hey, hey, hey
You got to let me go with you
You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak
Well maybe you do
But that's why we got to stick together now
No, no, no, don't speak, don't speak, don't speak

[Verse 1]

Just hear me out
I might surprise you
I'll be a friend when others despise you
Don't roll your eyes
Stop with the moping
You need a pal
My calender's open!

[Verse 2]

I'll bring you soup
When you feel congested
I'll bail you out
When you get arrested
I got your back
When things get scary
And I'll shave it
When it gets hairy!

[Chorus]

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
You need me
You need me

[Verse 3]

I'll treat you right
And never get shoddy
If you kill a man
I'll hide the body
So what do you say?
You're not responding
I think we're bonding!

[Chorus]

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
You need me

[Bridge]
You and me we belong together!

[Verse 4]

Like butter and grits
Like kibble and bits
Like ying and yang
Sturm and twang
Like Eng and Chang attached at the hip
But not an old lady hip that might break
I'm gonna be on you like a fat kid on cake!

Like Cupid and Psyche
Like Pop Rocks and Mikey
We'll stick together like that velcro stuff
I'm the fuzzy side and you'll be the spiky
Like little kids and pajamas with those funny things on the bottom, you know, feeties
Like donuts...and, oh, what goes with donuts?

Donuts and diabetes!

Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!

Hold me
Hug me
Take me please
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, please don't let me go!
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

Please! Don't! Let! Me!
Go-o! Go-o! Don't let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go!
