Deep in the dark of a forest kingdom

Under banyan covered skies

Lived a king with untold riches;

Jewels, gold, and two fair wives.

Both had hair as black as midnight,

Coal-black eyes that sparkled bright,

Terra-cotta skin as smooth as bronze

And tempting movements like a sprite.

Every night he indulged his fantasies

Enjoyed his wives and went to sleep

As he slept his wives kept secrets

Holding hands under the sheets.

Each dark day in his ancient palace

The emporer sant on hs throne of gold

His young wives explored bright gardens

Eyes met eyes and hands took hold [bad word] sure about "hands took hold here)

On that day in the dead of summer

pretty young wife saw a look of love

Her lover's face had taught their husband

Finally jealous, she lost her love.

One hot night in the dad of summer

The Emporer's wife stole the Magi's blade

Crept into her lover's chamber

And as they slept, her lover slayed.

Deep in the dark of a forest kingdom

Under banyan covered skies

Lived a king with untold riches;

Jewels, gold, and two fair wives.

Both had hair as black as midnight,

Coal-black eyes that sparkled bright,

Terra-cotta skin as smooth as bronze

And tempting movements like a sprite.
