Chorus
Give me the Harem, the old Sultan’s Harem
That’s the only thing I crave
The Sultan’s too old, for he’s past eighty-three
And his thousand wives need a fellow like me
I’ll never beat them, with kindness I’ll greet them
And all that I ask is a trial
Imagine me sitting on a carpeted floor
Telling my slave to bring me wife “Ninety-four”
I’ll be so gallant, I’m chucked full of talent
Won’t you give that Harem to me?
