Paroles de chanson Harem Life (Outside Of That Every Little Thing's All Right) de Irving Berlin

Harem Life (Outside Of That Every Little Thing's All Right)
Harem Life (Outside Of That Every Little Thing's All Right)

[1st verse:]
While trav'ling through Turkey in my dreams
I chanced to stray
Right into a harem and it seems
They let me stay
I spoke to the Sultan's favorite wife
Before I fled
I asked her how she liked harem life
Here's what she said

[Refrain:]
Living in a harem, what a life
Ne'er a thought of care or strife

Waiting on the Sultan night and day
Ever ready to obey

He keeps me dancing morning, noon and night
Dancing fills 'im with delight

I am black and blue from the dance I do
But outside of that ev'ry little thing's all right

[2nd verse:]
I wanted to know how many wives
The Sultan had
She answered each day a wife arrives
Fresh from Baghdad
How did he continue on that plan
So many years?
She answered "He's just a poor old man
With young ideas"

[Patter:]
Eight of the Sultan's wives are we
And there are a whole lot more
Weekdays he marries two or three
And Sundays he marries four
He has a hundred agents who
Lead very busy lives
Keep him supplied with wives
And now we'll tell in rhyme
Just how we spend our time

[1]
Ev'ry morning to his bed I bring his toast and tea

[2]
I prepare his bath for that's the job he gave to me

[3]
I massage his brow because he likes my gentle touch

[4]
I then manicure his nails and never hurt him much

[5]
I bring him his slippers ev'ry evening after eight

[6]
I then fetch his cigarettes upon a silver plate

[7]
I arrange his bed at nine, he gets so sleepy then

[8]
I begin to dance and then he's wide awake again

[All:]
And then we all dance to the vision of Salome
