Lyrics
Stagecoach after stagecoach
Cross them western trails
Just to see Salomee
Struttin’ like a chicken
Ready for the pickin’
Swingin’ out and kickin’ with her seven veils
Outlaws mix with sheriffs
No one thinks of jails
When they see Salomee
Movin’ kinda gentle
Lookin’ oriental
Out to pay the rental with her seven veils
Dancing like a demon
She’ll wiggle across the floor
Ev’ryone is screamin’
“More! More! More! Salomee
You’re a wow
More! More! More! Salomee
Wiggle once more and take a bow”
Weak men yell like Tarzan
Strong me bite their nails
When they see Salomee
Swing Scheherezadee
Hotter than a toddy
Pleasin’ ev’rybody with her seven veils
Patter
Hey! Pal! Bring me water
This gal is Satan’s daughter
Red silk veils are flying around
And one of them veils just flew to the ground
More! More! More! Salomee
You’re a wow
More! More! More! Salomee
Wiggle once more and take a bow
She may cause a fire
Fill your fire pails
When you see Salomee
Struttin’ like a chicken
Ready for the pickin’
Swingin’ out and kickin’ with her seven veils
