Egyptian Gardens
Kaleidoscope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saw a red headed lady was flat outta sight
Spent all my money honey to spend the rest of the night
And to watch her do that thing that they call….
Chorus:
Had happy horny snappy fingers at the end of the night
Fight
Pulled out my rosin and said “baby have a bite” and he went floatin’
Off through the fog with that thing called….
So I traipsed up to the red head and said gee babe but your nice
She smiled and stuck her arm through mine and said “Sol, baby say it
Twice”
Ever since I run that tomcat off me and her make out just like mice
Every time she do that thing that they call
The lyrics of Kaleidoscope's song "Egyptian Gardens" tell the story of the singer's experience at a place called the Egyptian Gardens. He describes seeing a red-headed woman who catches his eye, and spends all his money just to watch her perform something he calls "that thing." Later in the night, a man confronts him claiming that the woman belongs to him, and the singer pulls out his "rosin" and sends the other man floating away. Finally, the singer connects with the woman, and they begin a relationship in which they "make out just like mice" every time she performs "that thing."
Although the lyrics might seem straightforward, it's unclear exactly what "that thing" refers to - it could be dancing, singing, or some other kind of physical performance. The use of slang terms like "happy horny snappy fingers" and "rosin" also adds an element of mystery to the story. On the surface, the song seems to be a fun and playful exploration of a night out, but there may be deeper themes at work, such as the idea of freedom and escape from societal norms.
Overall, Kaleidoscope's "Egyptian Gardens" is a catchy and intriguing song that invites listeners to imagine a colorful, magical world full of mystery and adventure.

Went to the Egyptian gardens just the other night
I went to the Egyptian gardens recently
Saw a red headed lady was flat outta sight
I saw a very attractive red-headed woman
Spent all my money honey to spend the rest of the night
I used up all of my money to spend more time with her
And to watch her do that thing that they call….
I wanted to watch her perform something special
Had happy horny snappy fingers at the end of the night
When some dude walks up to me and says that’s mine, lets you and me
Fight
Pulled out my rosin and said “baby have a bite” and he went floatin’
Off through the fog with that thing called….
I felt very satisfied and content at the end of the night. But then a man came up to me claiming ownership of the woman and challenged me to a fight. I pulled out my rosin (a resin used on violin bows) and he was defeated. He floated away into the fog, under the influence of the special thing he wanted to see.
So I traipsed up to the red head and said gee babe but your nice
I approached the red-head and complimented her
She smiled and stuck her arm through mine and said “Sol, baby say itTwice”
She smiled and linked arms with me, urging me to repeat my compliment
Ever since I run that tomcat off me and her make out just like mice
Since I chased off a rival suitor, we make out passionately
Every time she do that thing that they call
Every time she performs that special thing

One of David Lindley's earliest works. David was the first musician of known record to take a Violin Bow to His electric guitar, which inspired Jimmy Page to do the same. Page would often cite the Kaleidoscope as being his favorite band!
@happenstanceman
I swear by this song. Like Creedence Clearwater Revival plays down-home music, this song is down-home music, Middle Eastern style. When stoned, the traditional parts of this tune send me to a place in some fabled past where Aladdin and Ali Baba exist as real as you or me. All thumbs, fingers and toes up for this one.
@ronhagg
saw them at the Whiskey A Go Go in the late 60's loved them - still do
@deybal
You're so lucky
@robertomainetti4836
What to say? That they reached that oriental taste that a lot of bands was looking for? They actually got it!
Talently skilled musicians who played "world music " in the glorious psychedelic years

@nathandietz6492
Now David Lindley, Chris Darrow, and Solomon Feldthouse have died. I love Kaleidoscope's music and hope you all love it too.
@templetonparceley8645
The first world music lp, very ahead of its time.

Χαίρομαι πάρα πολύ που αρέσει και σε αλλους Έλληνες αυτό το κομμάτι! Μπράβο ρε παιδιά! Γιατί σε όσους το έχω βάλει δεν τους άρεσε επειδή δεν είναι ακριβώς σαν τα ελληνικά
