THE MAHARAJAH OF MAGADOR
There’s a rich Maharajah of Magador
Who had ten thousand camels and mayhe more.
He had rubiens and pearls and the lovelies girls
But he didn’t know how to do the Rhumba.
He could afford a big reward
So to his peolple one day he said:
Take my rubies and take my pearls
Take my camels and take my girls
Rhumba lessons are wanted for
The rich Maharajah of Magador.
So a slick little chick answered, that’s for me
To the ad he had placed in Variety.
When she saw his expanse she ould tell at a glance
That he’d never learn how to do the Rhumba
He had his wealth, he had his health,
And so he looked in her eyes and said:
Take my rubies and take my pearls
Take my camels, I’ll keep my girls
From now on you’ll be working for
The rich Maharajah of Magador.
He was anxious to learn so she taught him right
But she taught him the thrill of a moonlight night,
He discovered the bliss of a half promised kiss
But he never learned how to do the Rhumba.
And on the day she went away
You could hear all the people say:
She took his rubies and took his pearls
Took his camels and took his girls
Took his money and what is more
She took the Maharajah of Magador.
