Lyrics
When ev'ning shadows 'round me play,
Memory leads me far away,
To a lonely maiden in Araby,
Who's watching and waiting for me:
CHORUS:
Arabella, Arabella, I love you,
Arabella, Arabella, I'll be true,
Your Oriental smile
Seems to haunt me all the while,
And just as sure as sunbirds on the palm trees sway,
I am coming back to plan a wedding day,
Soon I'll be crooning love's old melody,
To Arabella, Queen of Araby.
When stars are gleaming in the skies,
I'm dreaming of Egyptian eyes,
Eyes that ever watch for the caravan,
That's bringing me back to her clan:
