Chorus
Oh sweet Dardanella, I love your harem eyes
I’m a lucky fellow to capture such a prize
Oh Allah knows, my love for you and he tells you to be true
Dardanella, Oh hear my sigh, my Oriental
Oh sweet Dardanella, prepare the wedding wine
There’s be one girl in my harem, when you’re mine
We’ll build a tent just like children of the Orient
Oh sweet Dardanella, my star of love divine
