Sabre Dance

My heart begins to tingle when the bells begin to jingle

Zig-idee, zing, zing, zing, zig-I-dee zing zing

Ev'ry time they play the sabre dance,

My heart beats try to capture all the rhythm and the rapture;

Zig-idee, zing, zing, zing, zig-I-dee zing zing

Ev'ry time they play the sabre dance

I love the spell I'm under when the drums begin to thunder,

Boom-I-dee boom boom, boom-I-dee boom boom,

Like the tempo of a tropic rain,

When I hear trumpets blaring I can feel adventure flaring

Ra-ta-ta tat tat, ra-ta-ta tat tat

I am in a mood I can't explain,

I drift to an isle of perfume where summer roses eternally bloom,

There in a golden gleam waits my one wonderful dream;

Music take me don't forsake me,

Let me be a ship lost at sea that the winds rock and roll;

Whirling, swirling, twirling, out of control,

That music drives me crazy,

Ev'rything becomes so hazy;

Drums are booming, cellos zooming,

Cymbals crashing, sabres flashing in a willy nilly sort of way,

I seem to hear it night and day

Blending in romantic fashion, melody, moonlight and passion,

Riding high on heaven's highway,

Purple stars are guiding my way;

I am like a comet whizzing by

Just when I get the feeling that the universe

Is reeling, suddenly the song is ending;

And I find that I'm descending like a star

Toppling! Twisting! Tumbling!

And down and down and down and down and

Roun' and roun' and roun' and roun' and

Down and down and down and down,

And I begin to spin into a trance

Ev'ry time they play that sabre dance
