Lyrics
Refrain
Oh, play that ‘Song of India’ again
There’s something so appealing in each strain
That seems to carry me far over the sea
And I just seem to stray
Down near the bay at Mandalay
No melody I ever heard before
Can thrill me like that mystic wail of yore
I beg you Mister Music Man
Just try to please me if you can
And play that ‘Song of India’ once more
(Elegante)
There where Buddha dwells
And temple bells softly ring
There where lotus blooms
And rare perfumes seem to bring
Nights enchanted with a million lights
That glimmer in the mystic heights
Of Heaven, while each sweetheart plights love
Performance
