| There’s a rich maharajah of magador
|
| who had ten thousand camels and maybe more
|
| he had rubies and pearls, and the loveliest girls
|
| but he didn’t know how to do the rumba.
|
| he could afford… a big reward
|
| so to his people one day he said:
|
| ah ha hahahahahahahahahahah
|
| which means…
|
| take my rubies and take my pearls
|
| take my camels and take my girls
|
| rumba lessons are wanted for
|
| the rich maharajah of magador.
|
| ah hahahahahahahahah
|
| so a slick little chick answered, «that's for me»
|
| to the ad he had placed in variety
|
| when she saw his expanse, she could tell at a glance
|
| that he’d never learn how to do the rumba.
|
| he had his wealth, he had his health
|
| so he looked in her eyes and said:
|
| ah hahahahahahahahahha
|
| take my rubies and take my pearls
|
| take my camels, i’ll keep my girls
|
| from now on you’ll be working for
|
| the rich maharajah of magador.
|
| ah hahahahahahahaha
|
| he was anxious to learn, so she taught him right
|
| but she taught him the thrill of a moonlight night.
|
| he discovered the bliss of a half promised kiss
|
| but he never learned how to do the rumba.
|
| and on the day… she went away
|
| you could hear all the people say:
|
| she took his rubies and took his pearls
|
| took his camels and all his girls
|
| took his money and what is more
|
| she made the rich maharajah the poor maharajah of magador.
|
| ah hahahahahahahah |
