Irving Berlin - I'm The Guy Who Guards The Harem Lyrics

When the Sultan goes out on a spree
He presents me with the harem key
Ev'ry Turk in Turkey envies me
For I've got the best job in Turkey


I'm the guy who guards the harem
When the Sultan goes away
I'm a conscientious Turk and my heart is in my work
The Sultan tells me that I earn my pay
While he's gone I keep them happy
And it keeps the wheels a-working in my knob
If the Sultan ever saw the way I guard his harem, he
Would go out and engage someone to stand guard over me
I'm the guy who guards the harem
And I wouldn't take a million for my job
