My heart begins to tingle when the bells begin to jingle Zig-idee, zing, zing, zing, zig-I-dee zing zing Ev'ry time they play the sabre dance, My heart beats try to capture all the rhythm and the rapture; Zig-idee, zing, zing, zing, zig-I-dee zing zing Ev'ry time they play the sabre dance I love the spell I'm under when the drums begin to thunder, Boom-I-dee boom boom, boom-I-dee boom boom, Like the tempo of a tropic rain, When I hear trumpets blaring I can feel adventure flaring Ra-ta-ta tat tat, ra-ta-ta tat tat I am in a mood I can't explain, I drift to an isle of perfume where summer roses eternally bloom, There in a golden gleam waits my one wonderful dream; Music take me don't forsake me, Let me be a ship lost at sea that the winds rock and roll; Whirling, swirling, twirling, out of control, That music drives me crazy, Ev'rything becomes so hazy; Drums are booming, cellos zooming, Cymbals crashing, sabres flashing in a willy nilly sort of way, I seem to hear it night and day Blending in romantic fashion, melody, moonlight and passion, Riding high on heaven's highway, Purple stars are guiding my way; I am like a comet whizzing by Just when I get the feeling that the universe Is reeling, suddenly the song is ending; And I find that I'm descending like a star Toppling! Twisting! Tumbling! And down and down and down and down and Roun' and roun' and roun' and roun' and Down and down and down and down, And I begin to spin into a trance Ev'ry time they play that sabre dance
