"Dardanella" is a song written by Fred Fisher with music by Felix Bernard and Johnny S. Black. Written in 1919, its chorus is:

Oh sweet Dardanella,

I love your harem eyes,

I'm a lucky fellow to capture such a prize,

Oh Allah knows, my love for you

And he tells you to be true, Dardanella,

Oh hear my sigh, my Oriental,

Oh sweet Dardanela, prepare the wedding wine,

There'll be one girl in my harem, when you're mine.

We'll build a tent

Just like the children of the Orient.
