Hot starlight where a blue Moon
Dreams on the sheikh and she steals a night kiss
Baby's a belly dance
Mirage romance in Casablanca

Frankincense in the tresses of her hair
They ride the night on white mare
Her perfume drifts
On the Arabian air from the heart of the harem

He carries her off down to palm-breeze oasis
Behind a sand dune croons
She with her Eastern promise
Secrets in the sand

Oh, she's only a desert song

He carries her off down to palm-breeze oasis
Behind a sand dune croons
She with her Eastern promise
Secrets in the sand

Oh, she's only a desert song
