Mario Lanza - The Donkey Serenade lyrics

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
