If you ask me to advise you,

Finish what you have begun;

No one here can recognize you —

We are sure of lots of fun!

Full of fun

Risks we'll run —

Harum-

Scarum;

Danger none!

Full of fun

Risks we'll run —

Harum-

Scarum;

Danger none!

Harum-scarum, Royal lady!

Harum-scarum, full of fun;

Will the Sultan ever guess it,

Harum-scarum — danger none!

Something yet may advertise you

As the royal "Rose-in-Bloom";

If the Sultan should surprise you,

Ours will be a horrid doom!

Dreadful doom!

Dangers loom!

Bow-string

(Slow-string)

Watery tomb!

Thus the Sultan may express it,

"Harem-scare 'em! Dreadful doom!

Watery tomb! Dreadful doom!"

O, 'twixt Prudence and Temptation

Almost equally I rock!

Victim I of vacillation

Like an airy shuttle-cock!

That you knock!

(Shuttle-cock

That you knock! shuttle cock, ock-ock-ock, shuttle cock, ock-ock-ock,

Hither —

Thither —

Hither —

Thither —)

So I rock, so I rock, so I rock.

Ah! Harum-scarum, merry maiden!

Harem-scare 'em, girl of gloom!
