Oh, silver tree!Oh, shining rivers of the soul!
In a Harlem cabaretSix long-headed jazzers play.A dancing girl whose eyes are boldLifts high a dress of silken gold.
Oh, singing tree!Oh, shining rivers of the soul!
Were Eve's eyesIn the first gardenJust a bit too bold?Was Cleopatra gorgeousIn a gown of gold?
Oh, shining tree!Oh, silver rivers of the soul!
In a whirling cabaretSix long-headed jazzers play.
