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 muchachita.
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,
"Hee haw!"

Senorita, donkey's feet are
Not so fleet as a mosquito,
But so sweet like my chiquita,
You're the one for me! (Hey!)

But try as she may,
In her voice there's a flaw,
And all that the lady can say is,
"Hee haw!"

Senorita, donkey's feet are
Not so fleet as a mosquito,
But so sweet like my chiquita,
You're the one for me!
