The Sultan
Sultan king cruel majesty
Ordered that his women die
A single night this for all his wives
Takes his pleasure then their lives
And so for many days with the dawn
The sultan had his way
Wives were put to death
His name on their dying breath
Then one day as the evening came
Sultan sends for him a wife
Choose her well charms I wish to see
Bring her, send her in to me
Then came Scheherazade to his side
And her beauty shone
Like a flower grown
Gentle as he'd ever known
Scheherazade bewitched him
With songs of jewelled keys
Princes and of heroes
And eastern fantasies
Told him tales of sultans
And talismans and rings
A thousand and one nights she sang
To entertain her king
She sings, Scheherazade, Scheherazade, etc

When you gotta go, you gotta go
And so although you'd like to stay a little while,
You've gotta show a little style, and exit smiling.
Goodbye to all that,
Just reach for your had
And go on your own sweet way,
You know in your heart,
Although you are parting,
You'll live to love another day.
When you gotta fly, you gotta fly
And though your sky tomorrow may not be as bright,
Be glad you had a spot of light,
To spend a while in,
So, pocket your pride
Though deep down inside,
The tears that you're crying
Ain't easy to hide,
When you gotta go
And so although you'd like to stay a little while,
You've gotta show a little style, and exit smiling.
