- Verse:
- 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 muchachito, She'd love to sing it too if only she
knew the way.
-
- Chorus:
- But try as she may, in her
voice there's a flaw!
- And all that the lady can
say is: "EEAW!"
