lyrics

Clang and clink and chime and jingle!
Topaz titters, garnets tinkle.

The jangling jewels of Salome!
A father loves his daughter.
"For you, the moon and all its cinders!
All of Hades' waters!"

Clang and clink and chime and jingle!
Bellies heave and sinews tingle.

"Father father, is that all?
Can you afford a kiss or laugh?
The old man makes his daughter blush;
how many halves can your kingdom have?"

Moonstone, malachite, amethyst, moldavite,
A bed of thatch and fattening fleas,
a headboard of hematite.

Clang and clink and chime and jingle!
Topaz titters, garnets tinkle.

The jangling jewels of Salome!
A father loves his daughter.
"For you the hides of all my sons,
My darling dancing daughter!"

Clang and clink and chime and jingle!
Bellies heave and sinews tingle.

"Father father, kingdoms wane
Jewels can only clatter,
But bring me something I can kiss forever!
Bring him on a platter."

Moonstone, malachite, amethyst, moldavite,
A bed of thatch and fattening fleas,
a headboard of hematite.

Clang and clink and chime and jingle!
Topaz titters, garnets tinkle.
