Abdul and Cleopatra
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Abdul's not seen Cleopatra
It's been almost now a year.
How I wonder where she's at-ra
And I wish the old girl were here.
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra in the early morning sun.
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one.
You know, I love Cleopatra.
I'm just grateful that I know that old girl.
Even though I wonder where she's at-ra
As I wander through this world.
And Abdul yearns for Cleopatra, Abdul takes her or takes none.
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one.
All right, Leroy, tell them...
Well, Cleopatra, take my patience and test it.
Cleopatra, take your time as ye may.
My time has been well-spent,
I done cleaned up my tent.
You'll like it when you see it someday.
I will wait for Cleopatra
For I know my time must come,
And I'm gettin' ready for wherever she'll be at-ra,
Cause I'm gettin' stronger now and not so dumb.
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra in the early desert sun.
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one.
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one.
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one.
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one.
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one.
I love Cleopatra, she's still the one.
