Spoken: Ah Turkey, land of my dreams. Oh the Turkish delights, the

Turkish women, the coffee, the towels. In every way my heart belongs

to Turkey. But lo, what lovely eastern maiden approacheth?



maiden: Pachalafaka [giggles]



Pachalafaka, pachalafaka

they whisper it all over Turkey

pachalafaka, pachalafaka

it sounds so romantic and perky

oh I know that phrase

will make me thrill always

for it reminds me of you, my sweet

just the mention of

that tender word of love

gives my heart a jerkish Turkish beat



I won't say c'est bon

or l'amour toujours

for they can't express what I'm feeling

even maresydoats or

other foreign quotes

don't seem to be quite so appealing

but pachalafaka! pachalafaka!

takes me back with you to passionate desert scenes

and it's there we'll stay

till the very day

we find out what pachalafaka means

we find out what pachalafaka means!
