The Sheik Of Araby Lyrics

Fats Waller The Sheik Of Araby

[Intro: Spoken]
La Luther! Listen, come here boy, let me tell ya somethin'. Over there in Africa, or Arabia, or somewhere, they was doin' an awful lot of gabbin' about a boy called the Sheik. That was a long time ago. And I guess, and maybe, it's a little bit corny by this time. So how about dressin' it up so the folks will recognize him. You know, put some heat in his blood, and a little rhythm up there to loosen his jaws up, you know, you know how it is. Put it on there, the Sheik, the show, let's shook it on off here, the Sheik!

[Verse]
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
I'm the Sheik of Araby
Sheik it on out there, yeah yes
Ah beat it on out
Beat it on outsy wowtsy
