"IN ARMENIA"

COMPOSERS: Oscar Strauss; Harry B. Smith

YEAR: 1925

 

 

In Armenia we've a mania

For what's known as sex appeal.

You are filled with it,

I am thrilled with it,

Your magnetic lure I feel.

 

In Armenia I'd be popular

There romance is still in style.

Femininity is divinity,

Men go bankrupt for a smile.

 

There's a fortune Princess give

Just one hour of love to live.

 

It just happens I'm heart free

Somehow you appeal to me.

 

**CHORUS**

All I have in the bank,

All my title and rank

I would gladly give for the bliss of your kiss.

 

Don't please, I can't resist you

All my life I have missed you,

I am conquered quite

This is love at sight.

 

========

 

In Armenia I'm a millionaire

And a fav'rite with the girls.

There my joy is found

Throwing money 'round

Buying diamonds and pearls.

 

In Armenia with a kindred soul

Wealth to me would be as naught.

Tho' financially you're substancially,

The ideal I have sought.

 

With my Harem I'd be through

If I could depend on you.

You tempt me by ev'ry word.

You're the serpent; I'm a bird.

 

**Repeat Chorus**

It was from ebay.com - from a bit of sheet music on sale in an auction. Might still be there if you rush and "if financially it's substancially the ideal you have sought".
