Music Down at the oasis Foreign legion's waiting With banners waving And with sabers high Ready to face the enemy Then out of the desert Rides a man on horseback The Sheik of Araby Up there on the silver screen Larger than life A hero to the end He would always win the fight I can close my eyes and see The Sheik of Araby Riding tall and free Off into the desert once again As a boy I used to dream One day I'd grow to be As fine a man as he The Sheik of Araby Music Down at the oasis There's a camel waiting The night is spangled By a thousand stars The leading lady sips her tea Then out of the sunset Rides a man on horseback The Sheik of Araby When she'd see him she would fall Into his arms A lover to the end He would always win her heart I can close my eyes and see The Sheik of Araby Riding tall and free Off into the desert once again As a boy I used to dream One day I'd grow to be As fine a man as he The Sheik of Araby Music I can close my eyes and see The Sheik of Araby Riding tall and free Off into the desert once again As a boy I used to dream One day I'd grow to be As fine a man as he The Sheik of Araby Music
