Lyrics
0:47He was the sultan of Samarcand
0:52He had a harem of dancing girls at his command
0:57He owned all the eye could see
1:02Something was wrong he wasn't happy
1:07And then it happened much to his surprise
1:12The loveliest woman he'd ever seen
1:18He asked her name and she replied
1:22Scheherazade
1:38She was the daughter of the Grand Vizier
1:43A real beauty with the heart of gold she was so sincere
1:48She made a date with destiny
1:53Marry the king make him happy
1:58He was enchanted on their wedding night
2:04Just a captive under her spell
2:09Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights
2:19All of his body tingled with delight
2:24Hearing the stories she loved to tell
2:29She was a vision such a lovely sight
2:33Scheherazade
2:49He made a promise on the morning star
2:55He would change throw away his scimitar
3:00So she came to stay
3:05And that's the why the story goes
3:07Until this very day
3:09Scheherazade Scheherazade Scheherazade
4:11He was enchanted on their wedding night
4:17Just a captive under her spell
4:22Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights

4:37Hearing the stories she loved to tell
4:42She was a vision such a lovely sight
