What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
One fine day, I chanced to stray
2
On a little side street in old Bombay
3
And met a sentimental oriental
4
She saw me and I saw she
5
Had a manner too bold and much too free
6
Her eyes were positively detrimental
7
When I asked about this gay coquette
8
I discovered much to my regret
9
She's the girl friend of the whirling dervish
10
She's the sweetest one he's found
11
But ev'ry night, in the mellow moonlight
12
When he's out dervishing with all his might
13
She gives him the run-around
14
All the boy friends of the whirling dervish
15
Are his best friends to his face
16
But there's no doubt, when he isn't about
17
They all come hurrying to take her out
18
She leads him a dizzy pace
19
He dreams of a Hindu honeymoon
20
He doesn't dream that ev'ry night when he goes out
21
To make an honest rupee
22
She steps out to make a lotta whoopee
23
Oh, the love song of the whirling dervish
24
Has a sweet and tender sound
25
But will he burn if he ever should learn
26
That while he's doing her a real good turn
27
She gives him the runaround
28
She's got a nervish, throwin' him a curvish
29
Which, of course, he doesn't deservish
30
Poor old whirling dervish!
