I know your Daddy's a sul -tan,

A nomad known to all,

With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him,
Em7 G/B A7
Jump at his beck and call.

But you won't need no harem, honey,
Dm7 G7 C7/9 Bb9
When I am by your side;

And you won't need no cam - el, no no,
Em7 G/B A7
When I take you for a ride.

And tra - ces of romance in our heads.
