The donkey serenade

There's a song in the air
But the fair senorita
Doesn't seem to care
For the song in the air
So I'll sing to the mule
If you're sure she won't think that I am just a fool
Serenading a mule

Amigo mio, does she not have a dainty bray?
She listens carefully to each little word we play
La bella senorita?
Si, si, mi muchachito
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way.
But try as she may
In her voice there's a flaw
And all that the lady can say Is "e-e-aw!"
Senorita donkey sita, not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my Chiquita
You're the one for me

There's a light in her eye
Tho' she may try to hide it
She cannot deny
There's a light in her eye
Oh! the charm of her smile
So beguiles all who see her
That they'd ride a mile
For the charm of her smile

Amigo mio, is she listenin' to my song?
No, no, mi muchachito, how could you be so wrong?
La bella senorita?
Si, si, la senorita
She loves to sing it to me
If only she knew all the words

Her face is a dream
Like an angel I saw
But all that my darlin' can scream
Is: "e-e-aw!"
Senorita donkey sita, not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my Chiquita
You're the one for me
