Egyptian Dancer

I still remember When I first saw her Emerging alone From shadowy gloom Dark eyes like embers Glowing like fires Behind veils hidden In tribal costume Music pulsating Waist undulating Arms raising upwards Trailing gossamer Hip belts girating Gold coins cascading Backwards and forwards In silks and amber. Her bedlah whirling Under-skirts swirling Endlessly teasing The room full of men Gracefully twirling Her veils unfurling Almost revealing Then hidden again (Chorus) Egyptian dancer Sultry entrancer Fanning the fires Of the men who stay In want we suffer Nothing we offer Will ever stop her From dancing away
