He was the sultan of Samarcand He had a harem of dancing girls at his command He owned all the eye could see Something was wrong, he wasn`t happy And then it happened much to his surprise The loveliest woman he`d ever seen He asked her name and she replied Scheherazade
She was the daughter of the Grand Vizier A real beauty with the heart of gold, she was so sincere She made a date with destiny Marry the king, make him happy
He was enchanted on their wedding night Just a captive under her spell Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights
All of his body tingled with delight Hearing the stories she loved to tell She was a vision, such a lovely sight Scheherazade
He made a promise on the morning star He would change, throw away his scimitar So she came to stay And that`s the why the story goes Until this very day
