Oh Those Turks/EARTHA KITT/ Uska Dara

Eartha Kitt* in the swamp tonight with the tale of a Turkish woman and her secretary, after the dance, check out the rest of the song below; these are the lyrics, they say...
"Uskadara is a little town in Turkey
And in the old days, many women had male secretaries."
"Oh, well, that's Turkey!
They take a trip from Uskudara in the rain
And on the way they fall in love
He's wearing a stiff collar
In a full dress suit
She looks at him longingly through her veil
And casually feeds him candy
Oh, those Turks !"
(play this for the rest of the song

*This begins an Eartha Kitt special here in the swamp, stay tuned for more...
