- So I'll sing to the mule
if you're sure she won't think that I am just a
- Fool ser -e -nad -ing a
mule.
- A -mi -go mi -o, does she
not have a daint -y bray? She list -ens care -ful -ly to each
lit -tle tune you play.
- La bel -la Se -no -ri -ta"
Si, Si, mi mu -cha -chi -to, She'd love to sing it too if on
-ly she knew the way.

- Chorus:
- But try as she may, in her
voice there's a flaw!
- And all that the la -dy
can say is: "E -E -AW!"
