Lyrics
Have you heard that melodie,
Talk about that harmonie,
It’s just the kind that’s played,
In Arabie.
It’s the place you’d out to be,
In the land of Arabie.
You’d ought to be in Arabie,
[Refrain]
Come on,
Babe, and dance with me,
That Harem melodie,
It’s the one you’d
Ought to see,
When Harem Minnie,
Shakes that shimmy,
Oh! bo:
You’d ought to hear,
That harem melodie,
That’s played way down,
On Arabie.
Come on,
Babe, and dance with me,
That Harem melodie,
It’s the one you’d
Ought to see,
When Harem Minnie,
Shakes that shimmy,
Oh! bo:
You’d ought to hear,
That harem melodie,
That’s played way down,
On Arabie.
[Second Verse]
Talk about this harmonie,
It’s nothing like that melodie,
It’s just the kind that’s played,
In Arabie.
You had really ought to see,
Those babies shake that shimmy.
So come with me to Arabie.
