The Donkey Serenade (From "Firefly")

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
