With what joy girl and boy
have always loved to look
in that great big adventure book;
Magic lamps, harem vamps,
reward their hungry glance,
tales of wonder,
love and romance.

Arabian nights,
golden nights,
Dear delights of oriental mystery;
Aladdin bold,
Sinbad old,
all have read the fascinating history;
The plots old Ali weaves
with forty thieves,
as satellites,
in Bagdad, nobody was sad,
what a time they had
through those Arabian Nights.

Arabian nights,

Dear delights of oriental mystery;
Aladdin bold,
Sinbad old,
all have read the fascinating history;
The plots old Ali weaves
with forty thieves,
as satellites,
in Bagdad, nobody was sad,
what a time they had
through those Arabian Nights.

Burning lights through the nights,
to read each story through,
that's what I did,
how about you!
Laughed and wept
'till I slept
then dreamed about the book,
waking up to take one more look.

Arabian nights,
golden nights,
Dear delights of oriental mystery;
Aladdin bold,
Sinbad old,
all have read the fascinating history;
The plots old Ali weaves
with forty thieves,
as satellites,
in Bagdad, nobody was sad,
what a time they had
through those Arabian Nights.

what a time they had
through those Arabian Nights.
