| Tonight I’m dreaming of Araby |
| That’s where my dreams seem to carry me Where ev’rything is Oriental |
| And ev’ryone is sentimental |
| There in the shade of the shelt’ring palms |
| I met a maiden fair |
| I long to hold her gently in my arms |
| Oh, how I wish I was there |
| Araby, when shades of night appear |
| I seem to hear you calling |
| Araby, you seem to beckon and I reckon |
| I’ll be hurrying back again |
| Seems to me |
| A maiden’s face appears |
| I see her tears are falling |
| Falling because I left her there |
| That’s why I long to be Where all those happy faces |
| Wait for me Beside the fair oasis |
| Soon, you’ll see |
| Within a caravan |
| An Arab man will take me Over the desert back to Araby |
| Someday you’ll find me in Araby |
| Where someone’s waiting to marry me I can’t forget the day we parted |
| She said I left her broken hearted |
| I helped her on to a camel’s back |
| Before she rode away |
| She made me promise that I would come back |
| I’ll keep my promise someday |
