The Donkey Serenade [From the Firefly] Paroles

For the song in the air.
Oh, 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?
(BOY:) Que, esta?
(JONES:) She listens carefully to each little tune you play.
(BOY:) Oh, la bella senorita!
(JONES:) 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 hee-haw-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w
Senorita, donkey's feet are
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 For the charm of her smile.
Amigo mio, is she listening to my song?
(BOY:) Que, esta?
(JONES:) No, no, mi muchachito, how can you be so wrong?
(BOY:) Si, la bella senorita!
(JONES:) Si, si, la senorita,
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way.
Her face is a dream, like an angel I saw,
And all that my darling can scream
Is hee-haw-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w
Senorita, donkey's feet are
Not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my chiquita
You're the one for me!
Ole!
