Song for Belly Dancer

My youth was spent in the orient
Where they never taught me to wa
You’d be surprised when i exercised
It was never done to a wa
It was «done"like this. ..
But never to a wa
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!

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!
