Oriental Dancer
I still remember
First time I saw her
Advancing alone
From out of the gloom
Dark eyes like embers
Glowing like fires
Behind veils hidden
In tribal costume
Music pulsating
Waist undulating
Backwards and forwards
She’s no commoner.
Hip belts girating
Gold coins cascading
Arms raising upwards
Trailing gossamer
Her bedlah whirling
Under-skirts swirling
Endlessly teasing
The room full of men
Gracefully twirling
Her veils unfurling
Slowly revealing
Then hiding again
(Chorus)
Oriental dancer
Sultriest entrancer
Fanning the fires of all men who would stay
In longing we suffer
Nothing that we offer
Will ever prevent you from dancing away
