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

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
