I stand above the world's great stage, A mistress of desire,
And with a flick of my beguiling gaze, I set the world on fire.

  For I hold the hearts of mighty men, In the palm of my hand,
  And with a whispered word or two, I bend them to my command.
  
From Washington to Moscow's towers, They come to me for pleasure, 
And though they rule with all their powers, I am the greater treasure.

  For I hold the hearts of mighty men, In the palm of my hand,
  And with a whispered word or two, I bend them to my command.
  
The world may turn and kingdoms fall, But I will never falter,
For I am Thais, the queen of all, A true seductress and altar.

  For I hold the hearts of mighty men, In the palm of my hand,
  And with a whispered word or two, I bend them to my command.
