Listen while you read! |
Songwriters: Felix Bernard, J Black, Fred Fisher |
Oh, sweet Dardanella |
I love your harem eyes |
I’m a lucky fellow to capture such a prize |
Oh, Allah knows my love for you |
And he tells you to be true, Dardanella |
Oh, hear my sigh, my oriental |
Oh, sweet Dardanella, prepare the wedding wine |
There’ll be one girl in my harem, when you’re mine |
We’ll build a tent |
Just like the children of the orient |
Oh, sweet Dardanella |
My star of love divine |
Down beside the Dardanella Bay |
Where oriental breezes play |
There lives a lonesome maid Armenian |
By the Dardanelle’s with glowing eyes |
She looks across the seas and sighs |
And weaves her love spell so sirenian |
Soon I shall return to Turkestan |
I will ask for her heart and hand |
Oh, sweet Dardanella |
I love your harem eyes |
I’m a lucky fellow to capture such a prize |
Oh, Allah knows my love for you |
And he tells you to be true, Dardanella |
Oh, hear my sigh, my oriental |
Oh, sweet Dardanella, prepare the wedding wine |
There’ll be one girl in my harem, when you’re mine |
We’ll build a tent |
Just like the children of the orient |
