Donkey Dick
Judge Dread Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, down at the seaside, out upon the sand,
Is a man who lives a life, which really is quite grand.
He doesn’t make much money; in fact he is quite poor,
He’s Donkey Dick, the donkey man, of the seashore.

All the girls in their bikinis, when they’re getting a nice tan,
Always keep a look out, for their favourite donkey man.
And when they see him coming, they all run up to him quick,
Shouting: β€œLet’s have a ride, on your donkey, dick! ”.

Oh donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, Donkey Dick,
If you ask him nicely, he will give you a quick lick.
Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey dick,
All the girls like to have a ride on Donkey Dick.

When the winter comes around, he moves into the town,
Where his fame has spread, for miles and miles around.
And he shows the city girls his funny little trick,
That he does, with his donkey, donkey dick.

Well now that summer’s come around, and weather’s getting warm,
I’ve been out and brought a little donkey of my own.




It’s four feet high, and really, really, slick,
And twice as fat, as your donkey, donkey dick.

Overall Meaning

The song "Donkey Dick" by Judge Dread revolves around the character of Donkey Dick, who makes a living by offering donkey rides to beach-goers at the seaside. Despite being poor, he lives a grand life, as he is the favorite donkey man among all the girls in bikinis who frequent the beach. They are always on the lookout for him and run to him when they see him coming, shouting to have a ride on his donkey, dick. The lyrics suggest that Donkey Dick also has a comical trick that he performs with his donkey that amuses city girls when he moves to the town during the winter.


While the song may appear like a humorous take on a day at the beach, it also reveals a darker undertone. Donkey Dick's character may be seen as an object of ridicule, someone who is poor and cannot afford a better living. His trade of offering donkey rides to young girls raises concerns about exploitation, and the lyrics are suggestive of sexual themes. Judge Dread's lyrics may, therefore, be seen as a commentary on the socio-economic and cultural realities of the time, where people found themselves in desperate situations and were forced to take up occupations that may have been looked down upon.Β

Whilst other 5 year olds where singing nursery rhymes I was singing this.... My mother was fuming with my dad after hearing me sing that. Didn't stop my dad from playing all in the mind album every Sunday afternoon when she went off to work though. Good old papa 🀣🀣
