He had a harem of dancing girls at his command
He owned all the eye could see
Something was wrong, he wasn't happy
And then it happened much to his surprise
The loveliest woman he'd ever seen
He asked her name and she replied
Scheherazade
She was the daughter of the Grand Vizier
A real beauty with the heart of gold, she was so sincere
She made a date with destiny
Marry the king, make him happy
He was enchanted on their wedding night
Just a captive under her spell
Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights
All of his body tingled with delight
Hearing the stories she loved to tell
She was a vision, such a lovely sight
Scheherazade
He made a promise on the morning star
He would change, throw away his scimitar
So she came to stay
And that's the why the story goes
Until this very day
He was the sultan of Samarcand He had a harem of dancing girls at his command He owned all the eye could see Something was wrong, he wasn't happy And then it happened much to his surprise The loveliest woman he'd ever seen He asked her name and she replied Scheherazade She was the daughter of the Grand Vizier A real beauty with the heart of gold, she was so sincere She made a date with destiny Marry the king, make him happy He was enchanted on their wedding night Just a captive under her spell Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights All of his body tingled with delight Hearing the stories she loved to tell She was a vision, such a lovely sight Scheherazade He made a promise on the morning star He would change, throw away his scimitar So she came to stay And that's the why the story goes Until this very day Explain Request ×
