There was a party, Donner was their name
Since they were starving, they all went insane
Started chomping each other, Donner, oh how could it be? How could it be?

Started chomping each other, Donner, oh how could it be? How could it be?

I had a girl, Donna was her name
Since she left me, I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl, Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Since she left me, I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl, Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
