Let me tell you 'bout Ahab the Arab |
|
The Sheik of the burning sand |
|
He had emeralds and rubies just dripping off a him |
|
And a ring on every finger of his hands |
|
He wore a big ol' turban wrapped around his head |
|
And a scimitar by his side |
|
And every evening about midnight |
|
He'd jump on his camel named Clyde and ride |
|
Silently through the night to the Sultan's tent |
|
Where he would secretly meet up with Fatima of the Seven Veils |
|
Swingingest grade A number one U.S. choice dancer |
|
In the Sultan's whole harem |
|
'Cause heh, him and her had a thing going |
|
You know and they'd been carrying on for some time now |
|
Behind the Sultan's back and you could hear him talk to his camel |
|
As he rode out across the dunes |
|
His voice would cut through the still night desert air |
|
And he'd say |

Which is Arabic for, "Stop, Clyde!" |
|
Clyde would say |

|
Which is camel for, "What the heck did he say anyway?" |
|
Well |
|
He brought that camel to a screeching halt |
|
At the rear of Fatima's tent, jumped off Clyde |
|
Snuck around the corner and into the tent he went |
|
There he saw Fatima laying on a Zebra skin rug |
|
Wearing rings on her fingers and bells on her toes |
|
And a bone in her nose ho, ho |
|
There she was friends, lying there in all her radiant beauty |
|
Eating on a raisin, grape, apricot, pomegranate |
|
Bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three Hershey bars |
|
Sipping on a "R C" Co-Cola listening to her transistor |
|
Watching the Grand Ole Opry on the tube |
|
Reading the Mad magazine while she sung |
|
"Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor?" |
|
And Ahab walked up to her and he said |
|

|
Which is Arabic for, "Let's twist again like we did last summer, baby" You know what I mean! Whew! |
|
She looked up at him from off the rug |
|
Give him one of the sly looks |
|
She said, "Crazy crazy crazy cray" |
|
'Round and around and around and around and around and around |
|
And that's the story 'bout Ahab the Arab |
|
The Sheik of the burnin' sand |
|
Ahab the Arab the swinging Sheik of the burnin' sand |
