Lyrics
Chorus
Oriental music fills the air
Maidens so bewitching
They steal your heart away there
With dreamy eyes entrancing ev’rywhere
In fascinating Cleopatra’s Land
Patter Chorus
Oriental songs and dances
Sweet Egyptian smiles and glances
Ev’ry pretty maiden there is happy as can be
As they pass the lazy hours
‘Mid perfume of lotus flowers
They will steal your little heart away
See the moon come out in all its glory
As they tell love’s olden story
There among the shadows of the Pyramids so grand
In captivating, fascinating Cleopatra’s land
Some land!
