Belle Of The Silvery Nile 1904

There is a sunny Isle,
down by the River Nile,
'Twas there a native maid
of the Jungle wild,
Met as she idly strayed
a youth of eb'ny shade,
What is your name
he whispered softly
she said, Loolah! Loolah!
Now my heart he said
has found a ruooooler, Loolah!
Loolah! Don't be afraid my little maid.

When I gazed into your eyes so bright,
Softly a beaming like the stars at night,
My heart was stolen in the Jungle Glade,
I know you took it pretty native maid,
I've got a palace of palm leaves green,
Waiting for Loolah my Royal Queen,
I've sailed in style from Honolulu Isle,
To win the belle of the silv'ry Nile.

When I gazed into your eyes so bright,
Softly a beaming like the stars at night,
My heart was stolen in the Jungle Glade,
I know you took it pretty native maid,
I've got a palace of palm leaves green,
Waiting for Loolah my Royal Queen,
I've sailed in style from Honolulu Isle,
To win the belle of the silv'ry Nile.

She shyly hung her head,
I love you too she said,
But Daddy says a chief
his daughter must wed,
Said he please understand
my title leads the band,
For I'm the King so grand
of Zooooloo Land,
Loolah! Loolah!
You will never find my love
grow cooooooler, Loolah!
Loolah! Let me command
your heart and hand.

When I gazed into your eyes so bright,
Softly a beaming like the stars at night,
My heart was stolen in the Jungle Glade,
I know you took it pretty native maid,
I've got a palace of palm leaves green,
Waiting for Loolah my Royal Queen,
I've sailed in style from Honolulu Isle,
To win the belle of the silv'ry Nile.

When I gazed into your eyes so bright,
Softly a beaming like the stars at night,
My heart was stolen in the Jungle Glade,
I know you took it pretty native maid,
I've got a palace of palm leaves green,
Waiting for Loolah my Royal Queen,
I've sailed in style from Honolulu Isle,
To win the belle of the silv'ry Nile.
