All the people watch the dancing girl
All the people watch the dancing girl
I want his head, that’s right, she said

He judged me with his eyes
She’s such a graceful dancer, see her with the lamplight on her
He would not love me, now he’s paying with his life
Warm skin, golden, bending and turning and arching and swirling

All the people watch the dancing girl
All the people watch the dancing girl
I want his head, that’s right, she said

The things we do are all he sees
Seven veils flutter, one touches your shoulder
You are my witness, he spurned me when I kissed his feet
Enticing, delighting, you couldn’t help loving her, couldn’t help loving her

All the people watch the dancing girl
All the people watch the dancing girl

My sisters, sweet unknown
Flowers of the desert
Close your eyes and give yourself
To the beating of the drum

All the people watch the dancing girl
All the people watch the dancing girl
I want his head, that’s right, she said, I want his head

All the people watch the dancing girl
All the people watch the dancing girl
