The Andrews Sisters lyrics : "The Donkey Serenade"

Featuring: Glenn Miller
His Orchestra


[Maxene & LaVerne begin singing the following line:]
Da, da, da, da-da, da, da, da, da-da


[Maxene & LaVerne continue singing the
above as Patty sings her lines:]


[Patty:]
Dee-doo ba-da dee-doo.
Ba-da doo-da-ah-da-da-dee-doo-doo-doo-da-da-da-da-dah.


There's a song in the air,
But the fair señorita 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 señorita.)
Si, si, mi muchachita.

She'd love to play 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...


There's a light in her eye.
Though she may try to hide it,

She cannot deny,
there's a light in her eye.


Señorita, donkey feet
Are not so fleet
As a mosquit-o,

But so sweet like my chiquita.
you're the one for me.


He's a mule, what a mule.
But all that my darling can say...
Hee-yaw, he-yaw, he-yaw.


Hi-his face is a dream,
Like an angel that I saw.

But all that my darling can say
Is hee-haw.


He can try as he may,
In his voice there is a flaw.
But all that, my handsome, you can say

Is hee-haw.

There's a light in his eye.

Though he may try to hide it,
He cannot deny,
there's a light in his eye.


There's a song in the air,
But the señor doesn't care.

And I love him so,
Even though he's just a mule.
I get a great big kick,

From that sweet señor, the mule,
Singing the donkey serenade.
