I can remember being in 4th grade thinking that Mr. Becker was pretty awesome because he was in a quartet. He used to love teaching us to sing the different quartet songs that he and his group were practicing. I think he was about 4'9" or 4'10" but we were all just shy of that back then so we had no clue that he was so tiny. Well, I have a number of times in a tourrette-like fashion started singing one of the songs that Mr. Becker taught me. The following in particular is sticking with me since I'm currently learning Spanish.
Lyrics to Cielito Lindo :
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
De la Sierra Morena
Cielito lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros
Cielito lindo, de contrabando
Ese lunar que tienes
Cielito lindo, junto a la boca
No se lo des a nadie
Cielito lindo que a mi me toca
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
