Song for Belly Dancer
Irving Berlin
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!
