The Donkey Serenade


The donkey serenade - Mario lanza

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
