Music entrancing
spooning and dancing
come love and linger by my side,
come on my oriental pride
come love and do the Rajah Glide,
Billing and cooing
dreaming and wooing
come dear and dance the night away,
Love on until the break o' day
Doing the Rajah Glide.

When old Egypt starts a swaying
oriental hearts
are playing love melodies
Float through the trees
Cupid starts your soul a dreaming
in your eyes the lovelight's beaming,
Beaming for you
only you honest true.
Music sets your heart afire
burning with a sweet desire,
Prancing along
dancing along
Goodbye care and goodbye sorrow
No one thinks about tomorrow
Doing that dreamy Rajah Glide.

When old Egypt starts a swaying
oriental hearts
are playing love melodies
Float through the trees
Cupid starts your soul a dreaming
in your eyes the lovelight's beaming,
Beaming for you
only you honest true.
Music sets your heart afire
burning with a sweet desire,
Prancing along
dancing along
Goodbye care and goodbye sorrow
No one thinks about tomorrow
Doing that dreamy Rajah Glide.

Something reclining soft arms entwining
come on and bombashay, my dear,
Breathe honey words into my ear
Rajahs have nothing love to fear,
Egypt's fair daughters
have kingly courtiers
my heart with love just fairly teems,
Come on and wake me from my dreams
Doing the Rajah Glide.

When old Egypt starts a swaying
oriental hearts
are playing love melodies
Float through the trees
Cupid starts your soul a dreaming
in your eyes the lovelight's beaming,
Beaming for you
only you honest true.
Music sets your heart afire
burning with a sweet desire,
Prancing along
dancing along
Goodbye care and goodbye sorrow
No one thinks about tomorrow
Doing that dreamy Rajah Glide.

When old Egypt starts a swaying
oriental hearts
are playing love melodies
Float through the trees
Cupid starts your soul a dreaming
in your eyes the lovelight's beaming,
Beaming for you
only you honest true.
Music sets your heart afire
burning with a sweet desire,
Prancing along
dancing along
Goodbye care and goodbye sorrow
No one thinks about tomorrow
Doing that dreamy Rajah Glide.
