Ahab the Arab - Ray Stevens (雷史·蒂文斯)

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

US 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 and 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 RC 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
