| |
| − | My sisters and I
| |
| − | Have this wish before we die
| |
| − | And it may sound strange
| |
| − | As if our minds are deranged
| |
| − | Please don't ask us why
| |
| − | Beneath the sheltering sky
| |
| − | We have this strange obsession
| |
| − | You have the means in your possession
| |
| − | | |
| − | We want our tea in the Sahara with you
| |
| − | We want our tea in the Sahara with you
| |
| − | | |
| − | The young man agreed
| |
| − | He would satisfy their need
| |
| − | So they danced for his pleasure
| |
| − | With a joy you could not measure
| |
| − | They would wait for him here
| |
| − | The same place every year
| |
| − | Beneath the sheltering sky
| |
| − | Across the desert he would fly
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tea in the Sahara with you
| |
| − | Tea in the Sahara with you
| |
| − | | |
| − | The sky turned to black
| |
| − | Would he ever come back
| |
| − | They would climb a high dune
| |
| − | They would pray to the moon
| |
| − | But he'd never return
| |
| − | So the sisters would burn
| |
| − | As their eyes searched the land
| |
| − | With their cups full of sand
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tea in the Sahara with you
| |
| − | Tea in the Sahara with you

| − | =Quotations and trivia=
| |
| − | In Musician (June 1983) [[Andy Summers]] explains the "wobbling cloud" sound in this song:
| |
| − | "The basic technique consists of playing through an echoplex with echo volume set to about three-quarter maximum and a volume pedal with a compressor; the movement of the chord position between swells and the choice of harmonies are crucial. Wearing a long-sleeved shirt is also helpful as the right arm can pivot as a long-handled brush on the strings above the twelfth fret - sea island cotton produces a pleasing tone. The effect is that of a shuddering, trembling cloud of sound which teeters on the brink of collapse at every second."
