[Verse:]
My youth was spent in the Orient
Where they never taught me to waltz
You'd be surprised when I exercised
It was never done to a waltz
It was done like this
But never to a waltz

[1st refrain:]
In ancient Siam, women like I am
Indoors or on the street
No woman dances with her feet

Egyptian, Persian, only one version
No other stands a chance
Feet are for walking, not for dance

To an oriental fiddle,
You can see them shake their middle
The feet don't mean a thing
Middles are all they swing

Even an Egyptian mummy
Wiggles her tummy
Wiggles it so and so
That is the only dance I know

[2nd refrain:]
You don't need an Arthur Murray
Just a fringe that's on the surrey
Will satisfy your needs
Dancing between the beads

Everybody shake your torso
Sexy but more so
Shake it, come on, let's go
Let's do the only dance I know
