VERSE 01: Dreaming of love has made me sentimental,/Because a little Oriental/Is hiding all her charms/And I’ve been scheming/Just how to make her stop concealing/Her tender beauty so appealing,/And shield her in my arms, from all harms.
VERSE 02: Lonely when at her feet she find me kneeling,/Her loveliness she’ll be revealing,/Just heading love’s demands/Then to her only/The joy of all my love confiding,/When in my caravan she’s riding,/Across the desert lands, burning sands.
CHORUS: Oriental maiden so frail,/So sweet and pale,/Behind your silken veil,/You’re hiding,/All I’ve ever seen is your eyes/Your veil denies me/All the sweetness that lies beneath them/Blushing cheeks and flashing smiles/Are hidden while I’m sighing/Trembling lips are waiting for their kisses while I’m trying/To tell you love has whispered it’s wondrous tale/So let me peep, dear,/Behind your silken veil./So let me peep, dear,/Behind your silken veil.
