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
