Seven Veils - Eskimo Joe

She gets grumpy when she doesn’t come

She says, «Hey boy you got all the fun»

Then she comes over

With the flowers in her hand

She gets clumsy when she’s all alone

I say «baby, there’s some things you just don’t know»

Then she comes over

And puts her hand upon her heart and says

Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils

Oohh there are only four to fall away

She gets jealous

And asks me «Who was she»

I say «Patience» and put a kiss upon her cheek

Then she comes over

And says, «The two of us should never part»

Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils

Oohh there are only four to fall away

He’s the one whose questions go unanswered most the time

Words

Words to keep from falling from her mouth

Even though she was a mirror in her-own time

That wasn’t her

You know she was a spy

Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils

Oohh there are only four to fall away

No I won’t be coming home this year

Now watch them fall away
