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 tune you 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.
Choir: 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 beguiled Din Diego That he got 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'd loved 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.
