[Intro]
[Non-lyrical vocals]
[Verse 1: Chorus, women]
She’s the girlfriend of the whirling dervish
She’s the sweetest one he’s found
But every night in the mellow moonlight
When he’s out dervishing with all his might
She gives him the runaround
[Breakdown: Chorus, womenmen]
She dreams of a Hindu honeymoon
He doesn’t dream that every night when he goes out to make an honest rupee
She steps out to make a lot of whoo-pee
[Verse 2: Chorus, men, women]
Oh the love song of the whirling dervish
Has a sweet and tender sound
But will he burn if he ever should learn
That while he’s doing her a real good turn
She gives him the runaround
Gives him the runaround
