The Donkey Serenade (From "Firefly")

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.
