Prima Louis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The whole world smiles with you
And when you're laughing, oh you're laughing
Then, the sun comes shining through
when you're crying you bring on the rain
Stop your sighing, would you be happy again
When you're smiling, keep on smiling
And the whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing
You bring on the joy
Be happy, you've got to groove, my boy
When you're smiling
Keep on smiling
And the whole world smiles with you, oh
'Cause I'm the sheik of Araby
(With your turban on)
Ooo, your love belongs to me
(With your turban on)
At night when you're asleep
(With your turban on)
Baby, into your tent I'll creep
(With your turban on)
And the stars that shine above
(Jumpin' as a jaybird)
Will light our way to love
(Jumpin' as a jaybird)
And you'll rule this crazy land with me
(Jumpin' as a jaybird)
I'm the sheiky man, that's who I be
That's who I be
