[v1]
You like to watch the belly dancers at the bar
You can't understand why they go so far
But you like watching Mabel
Dancing with a ruby in her navel
[v2]
It seems that you're there almost every night
You stay there until they turn out the light
Cause you like watching Mabel
Dancing with a ruby in her navel
[rise]
There's no other girl you'd rather see
No need to make apologies
[ch 2x]
Mabel, with a ruby in her navel
Mabel, dancing on the table
Just one look in her eyes
You could see she was your Mabel
[v3]
One night at closing Mabel came to you
She asked you if you'd like a better view
So then you married Mabel
Now she's dancing on your table
[v1]
You like to watch the belly dancers at the bar
You can't understand why they go so far
But you like watching Mabel
Dancing with a ruby in her navel
[rise]
There's no other girl you'd rather see
No need to make apologies
[ch 2x]
Mabel, with a ruby in her navel
Mabel, dancing on the table
Just one look in her eyes
You could see she was your Mabel
[outro]
You don't want Diamond Lil
You don't want Peggy Sue
You just want your ever loving Mabel
With a ruby in her navel
