There's a song in the air
But the fair senorita
doesn't seem to care
For the song in the air
Oh 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 tune you play
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-aaw
Senorita donkey's feet are
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
Though she may
try to hide it
she cannot deny
There's a light in her eye
Oh the charm of her smile
So beguiled Don Diego
that he rode a mile
For the charm
of her smile
Amigo mio is she listening
to my song
No no mi muchachito
how can you be so wrong
Si si la senorita
She'd love to sing it too
if only she knew the way
Her face is a dream
like an angel I saw
And all that my darling
can scream
Is e-aaw
Senorita donkey's feet are
Not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my chiquita
You're the one for me
Ole
