Legend Of The Djin 1907 "The Tattoed Man"

In the torrid depths of Sahara wild
is that desert grim and lone,
lives the giant Djin,
he's brimful with sin,
in a kingdom of his own,
his eyes are fire,
his voice is dire,
tho' he wears a smile so bland,
to welcome the one who's lost his way,
in the desert of arid sand.

It's hist and hark!
Beware! Keep dark!
With bated breath,
as still as death,
or he'll overtake you,
don't even sneeze,
climb the nearest trees,
beware! the terrible, terrible,
terrible, terrible, Djin, Djin! Djin!

It's hist and hark!
Beware! Keep dark!
With bated breath,
as still as death,
or he'll overtake you,
don't even sneeze,
climb the nearest trees,
beware! the terrible, terrible,
terrible, terrible, Djin,
Djin! Djin!

When the camel toils
in that land accursed,
in the distance may be seen,
an oasis fair in the sunlit air,
an oasis fresh and green.
As you draw near,
'twill disappear,
the mirage that lures your band,
then you hear the laughter of the Djin,
and you're lost in Sahara's sand.

It's hist and hark!
Beware! Keep dark!
With bated breath,
as still as death,
or he'll overtake you,
don't even sneeze,
climb the nearest trees,
beware! the terrible, terrible,
terrible, terrible, Djin, Djin! Djin!

It's hist and hark!
Beware! Keep dark!
With bated breath,
as still as death,
or he'll overtake you,
don't even sneeze,
climb the nearest trees,
beware! the terrible, terrible,
terrible, terrible, Djin,
Djin! Djin!
