[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
And then it happened much to his surprise
The loveliest woman he'd ever seen
He asked her name and she replied
Scheherazade

[Verse 3]
She was the daughter of the grand vizier
A real beauty with a heart of gold, she was so sincere
She made a date with destiny
Marry the king, make him happy

[Pre-Chorus]
He was enchanted on their wedding night
Just a captive under her spell
Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights
Scheherazade

[Chorus]
All of his body tingled with delight
Hearing the stories she loved to tell
She was a vision, such a lovely sight
Scheherazade
[Verse 4]
He made a promise on the morning star
He would change, throw away his scimitar
So she came to stay
And that's the way the story goes
Until this very day
Scheherazade

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
