Under The Mellow Arabian Moon 1915

My heart's in Arabia tonight,
where stars shine bright
on desert sand.
When the moon sends blessings with her light,
From far above,
oh, land of love:

Under the mellow Arabian moon
with an Arab maid
in the desert shade,
humming a sweet Arabian tune,
Turkish melodies,
floating on the breeze,
holding some one by the hand
in that far off desert land,
Let me tell you that's the way to spoon,
just get as Arab sweetheart,
under the mellow Arabian moon,
tell her pretty things
do your wanderings,
where cold December seems like June
you will be content
in the Orient
you'll find lots of pleasure there,
love and music in the air,
Under the mellow Arabian moon.

Under the mellow Arabian moon
with an Arab maid
in the desert shade,
humming a sweet Arabian tune,
Turkish melodies,
floating on the breeze,
holding some one by the hand
in that far off desert land,
Let me tell you that's the way to spoon,
just get as Arab sweetheart,
under the mellow Arabian moon,
tell her pretty things
do your wanderings,
where cold December seems like June
you will be content
in the Orient
you'll find lots of pleasure there,
love and music in the air,
Under the mellow Arabian moon.

When the oriole
high in the trees
goes to its nest
in search of rest,
Then my fancy journey's o'er the seas,
Thro' desert sand to Arab land.

Under the mellow Arabian moon
with an Arab maid
in the desert shade,
humming a sweet Arabian tune,
Turkish melodies,
floating on the breeze,
holding some one by the hand
in that far off desert land,
Let me tell you that's the way to spoon,
just get as Arab sweetheart,
under the mellow Arabian moon,
tell her pretty things
do your wanderings,
where cold December seems like June
you will be content
in the Orient
you'll find lots of pleasure there,
love and music in the air,
Under the mellow Arabian moon.

Under the mellow Arabian moon
with an Arab maid
in the desert shade,
humming a sweet Arabian tune,
Turkish melodies,
floating on the breeze,
holding some one by the hand
in that far off desert land,
Let me tell you that's the way to spoon,
just get as Arab sweetheart,
under the mellow Arabian moon,
tell her pretty things
do your wanderings,
where cold December seems like June
you will be content
in the Orient
you'll find lots of pleasure there,
love and music in the air,
Under the mellow Arabian moon.
