Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
or been thirsty by the way
come on boys and listen to me
don't pray the god that you should see
a place where all the honest men
the desert mice, the desert rats -
wholesome honey, stay alive
we'll take you to the valley's green
you'll hear the distant fairy sing
pretty maids bear up your pall
walk in and find your chance for sale
forget the plagues within your life
in this hive we're all alive
right down the freemont street you'll find
the loyal and the proud unite
enjoy before you leave the town
and don't forget to turn around
make your path straight to the moon
oriental saloon
rattle your spurs and swing your legs
dancing to the girls request
come on fellow fill up your glass
to the health of our glorious class
see the splendid flowers grow
before the rain begins to fall
even whiskey to your mind
best that you will ever find
we'll take you to the valley's green
you'll hear the distant fairy sing
pretty maids bear up your pall
walk in and find your chance for sale
forget the plagues within your life
in this hive we're all alive
right down the freemont street you'll find
the loyal and the proud unite
enjoy before you leave the town
and don't forget to turn around
make your path straight to the moon
oriental saloon
the scrapping of the drunken boys
exuberance, ain't got no choice
are sinners now senseless grown
night careers they start to flow
the whipping of the willing whores
your soul can really wish no more
for noble hearts and blushing wimps
the outlaw rock'n'roll begins
we'll take you to the valley's green
you'll hear the distant fairy sing
pretty maids bear up your pall
walk in and find your chance for sale
forget the plagues within your life
in this hive we're all alive
right down the freemont street you'll find
the loyal and the proud unite
enjoy before you leave the town
and don't forget to turn around
make your path straight to the moon
oriental saloon
The lyrics to Desperados' song "Oriental Saloon" paint a vivid picture of a wild bar in the old American West, beckoning thirsty men to come in and forget their worries. The singer is trying to entice "honest men," including "desert mice" and "desert rats," to step inside and try their luck at the "lucky game" on offer. The bar is presented as a refuge from the troubles of daily life, where even the whiskey is the "best that you will ever find." The lyrics suggest that anyone can find a place at the saloon, regardless of their station in life or the plagues they may be facing.
The Oriental Saloon is depicted as a raucous and rebellious place, with "scrapping of the drunken boys" and "whipping of the willing whores." The outlaw spirit of the saloon is embodied by the "night careers" that "start to flow," and the "outlaw rock'n'roll" that begins, suggesting that anything goes within its walls. However, despite this wildness, the song also presents a sense of community and camaraderie at the Oriental Saloon, with "loyal and proud" patrons uniting for a night of revelry.
Overall, "Oriental Saloon" presents the titular bar as a place where people can escape their troubles and let loose, a refuge for anyone seeking a little bit of fun and excitement in their lives.

oriental saloon
Name of the establishment where all this fun is happening
rattle your spurs and swing your legs
Get up and dance with enthusiasm
dancing to the girls request
Dancing to the music that the women request
come on fellow fill up your glass
Let's all have a drink
to the health of our glorious class
Here's a toast to all of us having a good time together
see the splendid flowers grow
Take in the beauty of the surroundings
before the rain begins to fall
Before the good times come to an end
even whiskey to your mind
Even the drinks are enjoyable and relaxing
best that you will ever find
These drinks are top-notch
the scrapping of the drunken boys
The rowdy behavior of some of the customers
exuberance, ain't got no choice
The enthusiasm is contagious and unstoppable
are sinners now senseless grown
Those who were once mischievous are now too drunk to think straight
night careers they start to flow
People start indulging in vices as the night goes on
the whipping of the willing whores
Sexual activity with the prostitutes on offer
your soul can really wish no more
All your desires can be fulfilled here
for noble hearts and blushing wimps
For anyone who wants to have a good time
the outlaw rock'n'roll begins
The party starts to really kick off
