Andrews Sisters Sabre Dance Lyrics

My heart begins to tingle when the bells begin to jingle
Zig-idee, zing, zing, zing, zig-I-dee zing zing
Ev'ry time they play the sabre dance,
My heart beats try to capture all the rhythm and the rapture;
Zig-idee, zing, zing, zing, zig-I-dee zing zing
Ev'ry time they play the sabre dance.

I love the spell I'm under when the drums begin to thunder,
Boom-I-dee boom boom, boom-I-dee boom boom,
Like the tempo of a tropic rain,
When I hear trumpets blaring I can feel adventure flaring
Ra-ta-ta tat tat, ra-ta-ta tat tat
I am in a mood I can't explain,

I drift to an isle of perfume where summer roses eternally bloom,
There in a golden gleam waits my one wonderful dream;
Music take me don't forsake me,
Let me be a ship lost at sea that the winds rock and roll;
Whirling, swirling, twirling, out of control, That music drives me crazy,
Ev'rything becomes so hazy;
Drums are booming, cellos zooming,
Cymbals crashing, sabres flashing in a willy nilly sort of way,

I seem to hear it night and day;

Blending in romantic fashion, melody, moonlight and passion,
Riding high on heaven's highway,

Purple stars are guiding my way;
I am like a comet whizzing by,

Just when I get the feeling that the universe
Is reeling, suddenly the song is ending;
And I find that I'm descending like a star
Toppling! Twisting! Tumbling!
And down and down and down and down and
Roun' and roun' and roun' and roun' and
Down and down and down and down,
And I begin to spin into a trance
Ev'ry time they play that sabre dance
