Lyrics
1. Pale moon in the eastern sky
Look down where the Arabs lie
Smile down on the cavalcade
Wake not little dark-eyed maid
Dreaming of a Prince so bold
High up on a throne of gold
Singing in a vision rare
Pleading to his dream love fair
Chorus
Oriental maiden, be my jewel laden
Princess all array’d in glory
Dream of love’s sweet longing, tender fancies thronging
Told in royal song and story
See the Sphinx beguiling, pyramids are smiling
To my sweetheart while in slumber
All the sentimental, all the Oriental
Dreams are born out of the East
2. Far far from the desert sands
Yonder in the vineyard lands
There dear is the place we’ll go
There dear where the breezes blow
Palm trees wave a welcome dear
Swaying in the sunlight clear
Blue skies with an opal glow
Calling bid us gently go
