Sisters  and I
 Have one wish  before we die
 And it may  sound strange
 As if our minds  are derranged
 Please don't  ask us why
 Beneath the sheltering  sky
 We have this strange  obsession
 You have the means  in your posession
Tea  in the Sahara
 With you
Tea  in the Sahara
 With you
 The young man agreed
 He would satisfy their needs
 So they danced for his pleasure
 With a joy you could not measure
 They'd wait for him here
 The same place every year
 Beneath the sheltering sky
 Across the desert he would fly
Tea  in the Sahara
 With you
Tea  in the Sahara
 With you
Tea  in the Sahara
 With you
Tea  in the Sahara
   etc.
 With you--oo--oo...
 Same as intro
 The sky turned to black
 Would he ever come back?
 They would climb a high dune
 They would pray to the moon
 But he never returned
 So the sisters would burn
 As their eyes searched the land
 Their cups still full of sand
 Tea in the Sahara
 With you
 Tea in the Sahara
 With you
 Tea in the Sahara
 With you
 Tea in the Sahara
 With you
 That's it, boys and girls! Enjoy.
