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 [Madonna:]
Scheherazade
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
He was enchanted on
their wedding night Just a captive under her spell Spending a
thousand and one Arabian nights [Madonna:] Scheherazade
All of
his body tingled with delight Hearing the stories she loved to tell She
was a vision, such a lovely sight [Madonna:] 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 way the story goes Until
this very day [Madonna:] Scheherazade
He was enchanted on
their wedding night Just a captive under her spell Spending a
thousand and one Arabian nights [Madonna:] Scheherazade
All of
his body tingled with delight Hearing the stories she loved to tell She
was a vision, such a lovely sight [Madonna:] Scheherazade
