Oriental Swing

歌詞

Now, Arab sheiks on the burning sands Come into their harems and clap their hands Said, "Come on, girls, are you ready to play? Let's have a little more of that swingin' today" Now, geisha girls in old Japan Wink behind their peacock fans Since they learned to say, "Yeah! Let's swing it like Amelican's swing swing dance!" Now, in the land of Fu Manchu The girls all now do the Suzie-Q Clap their hands in the center of the floor Saying, "Ching, ching, chop-suey, swing some more!" Now, Gypsy caravans have changed their mode They truck down the Romany road With their hi-de-hos, and their hey-hey-diddle Doin' the swing on the Gypsy fiddle Them eastern wisemen know the story Of the swing with Oriental glory They stroke their beards and grin Sayin', "Swing, little children, till the dawn comes in!"
