Song For Belly Dancer

Perry Como

My youth was spent in the Orient 
where they never taught me to waltz 
You'd be surprised when I exercised 
it was never done to a waltz! 
It was "done" like this . . . 
but never to a waltz! 

In ancient Siam, women like I am 
indoors or on the street . . . 
No woman . . . dances with her feet! 
Egyptian, Persian, only one version 
no other stands a chance, 
feet are for walking, 
not for dance! 

To an oriental fiddle, 
you can see them shake their middle, 
the feet don't mean a thing 
middles are all they swing! 

Even an Egyptian "mummy" 
wiggles her tummy 
wiggles it so an' so 
that is the only dance ! know! 

< instrumental break > 

You don't need an Arthur Murray 
just a fringe that's on the surrey 
will satisfy your needs 
dancing between the beads! 

Everybody shake your torso 
sexy but more-so, 
shake it, come on, let's go . . . 
Let's do the only dance I know!
