WILL DOWNING
"Nights Over Egypt"
(Cynthia Biggs, Dexter Wansel)
[Originally by The Jones Girls]

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

There's a star in the east
Over pyramids at Giza
Where there once lived a girl, she ruled the world
Bend of the Nile, he came with a smile

He was the king, she was the queen
Under the moonlight
Your eyes won't believe what your mind can't conceive
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt

Incense and myrrh, girls that swirl to the music
Nights over Egypt

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Women Fellahin
Wear veils to be seen by no one
Take a caravan across the Sudan
Sahara facade, it's just a mirage

Oasis in the sand where life once began
Under the moonlight
Your eyes won't believe what your mind can't conceive
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt

Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
