Gypsiana 1920

In a happy caravan
wand'ring from Cairo,
along the road to old Algiers,
there I met a darkeyed maid,
love came, that I know,
Taunting me, trailing me,
haunting my memory,
Gyp! Gyp!
Gypsiana, Gypsiana
When she rolls her eyes at you
Oh, what wonders she can do,
Gypsiana, Gypsiana
She will vamp you with a smile,
in her Oriental style
Egypt!
Land of maiden fair,
Egypt! Let me wander there
tho' your sand trails burn like thunder
Egypt's daughter is a wonder
Gypsiana, Gypsiana,
with her art
will steal your heart
charms ev'ryone
in the land of the Sun.

Egyptland may be grand
in all its splendor.
I have yet to see the sights
they may have there,
I don't care,
Pyramids, Camel trains
I can't remember
for all I saw was Gypsiana so fair.

Egyptland may be grand
in all its splendor.
I have yet to see the sights
they may have there,
I don't care,
Pyramids, Camel trains
I can't remember
for all I saw was Gypsiana so fair.
