- Verse:
- Over the desert wild and
free,
- Rides the bold Sheik of
Araby.
- His Arab band, At his command,
- Follow his love's caravan.
- Under the shadow of the
palms;
- He sings to call her to
his arms.
-
- Chorus:
- "I'm the Sheik of Araby,
- Your love belongs to me.
- At night when you're asleep,
- Into your tent I'll creep.
- The stars that shine above,
- Will light our way to love.
- You'll rule this land with
me,
- The Sheik of Araby."
