Quiet Knight Club 1978 #2 version - Lyrics
Abdul's not seen Cleopatra
It's been almost now a year.
How I wonder where she's at-ra
how I wish the old girl were here.
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra Abdul wants her or wants none
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one.
I can feel my skin a glow
I can feel my heart pound all day
cause every camel around here can tell you
Abdul's bound to get his way
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra Abdul wants her or wants none
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one.
leroy!
I'm in love with Cleopatra.
I'm just grateful to know the old girl.
and though I wonder where she's at-ra
As I wander through the world.
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra, Abdul wants her or wants none.
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one.
now, Cleopatra, take my patience and test it.
Cleopatra, take my time as ye may.
My time has been well-spent,
I done cleaned up my tent.
You'll like it when you see it someday.
that's all right with Cleopatra
I know my time must come
and I'll be ready for wherever she's at-ra
cause I'll be stronger, and not so dumb
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra, in the early morning sun
Abdul loves Cleopatra, that's right, she's still the one.
I am patient like I oughta
for I know I've done my part
I've sowed the seeds and I gotta
wait for time to change her heart
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra, Abdul wants her or wants none
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one.
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra, Abdul wants her or wants none
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one.
