The Donkey Serenade

The Donkey Serenade - Tennessee Ernie Ford

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

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

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
