Salomee (With Her Seven Veils)
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Dinah Shore



Stagecoach after stagecoach
Crossed them western trails
Just to see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her seven veils

Outlaws mix with sheriffs
No one thinks of jail
When they see Salomee
Movin' kinda gentle
Lookin' Oriental
Out to pay the rental
With her seven veils

Dancin' like the demon
She'll wiggle across the floor
Everybody's screamin'
(More, more, more, Salomee)
(You're a wow)
(More, more, more, Salomee)
(Wiggle once more, then take a bow)

Weak men yell like Tarzan
Strong men bite their nails
When they see Salomee
Swing Scheherezadeee
Hotter than a toddy
Pleasin' everybyody
With her seven veils

(Hey, now bring me water)
(This gal is Satan's daughter)
Red silk veils are flyin' around
One of them veils just flew to the ground

(More, more, more, Salomee)
(You're a wow)
(More, more, more Salomee)
(Wiggle once more, then take a bow)

She may cause a fire
Fill your fire pails
When you see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her seven veils

(Hey Salomee!)
Ye-e-s-s-s
(Hey Salomee!)
(Wow!)

She may cause a fire
Fill your fire pails
When you see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her se-e-e-e-e-ven veils

Se-e-e-e-e-ven veils

(Wow!)
