Sabre Dance

My heart begins to tingle

When the bells begin to jingle

Zig-idee zing zing

Zig-I-dee zing zing

Ev'ry time they play the sabre dance

My heart beats try to capture

All the rhythm and the rapture;

Zig-idee zing zing

Zig-I-dee zing zing

Ev'ry time they play the sabre dance

I love the spell I'm under

When the drums begin to thunder

Boom-I-dee boom boom

Boom-I-dee boom boom

Like the tempo of a tropic rain

When I hear trumpets

Blaring I can feel adventure flaring

Ra-ta-ta tat tat ra-ta-ta tat tat

I am in a mood I can't explain

I drift to an isle of perfume

Where summer roses eternally bloom

There in a golden gleam

Waits my one wonderful dream

Music take me don't forsake me

Let me be a ship lost at sea

That the winds rock and roll;

Whirling swirling twirling out of control

That music drives me crazy

Ev'rything becomes so hazy

Drums are booming cellos zooming

Cymbals crashing sabres flashing

In a willy nilly sort of way

I seem to hear it night and day

Blending in romantic fashion

Melody moonlight and passion

Riding high on heaven's highway

Purple stars are guiding my way

I am like a comet whizzing by

Just when I get the feeling

That the universe

Is reeling

Suddenly the song is ending

And I find that I'm descending

Like a star

Toppling Twisting Tumbling

And down and down

And down and down and

Roun' and roun' and roun'

And roun' and

Down and down a

Nd down and down

And I begin to spin into a trance

Ev'ry time they play

That sabre dance
