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!
  
   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 an' so
   that is the only dance ! know!
  
   < instrumental break >
  
   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!
