Låttexter: Soundtrack Artists. Not Since Nineveh.
(She)
Baghdad don't underestimate Baghdad
(He)
A city rich in romantic oriental lore
(She)
Baghdad you must investigate Baghdad
(He)
And learn a few of the facts you never knew before
(She)
Due South of the Garden of Eden!
Due North of the Gulf of Aden!
Where every male and maiden
Is laiden down
With the blisses of Baghdad!
This irresistible town
When or where
Could you compare High life
To the life you find here?
Not since Nineveh, not since Tyre,
Not since Babylon turned to mire
For a sin of a kind we never mind here!
Where or when
Ever again
Low life
Like the life well known here?
Not since Nineveh, not since Sidon,
Not since Jericho started slidin'
From the din of a horn that's never blown here!
Our palaces are gaudier,
Our alleyways are bawdier,
Our princes more autocratic here,
Our beggars more distinctly aromatic here!
