Hadji Halef Omar
Cornamusa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watch that guy - tiny and thin
Big brave heart - always a grin
My best friend - good as can be
Cunning chap - easy and free
Watch him...

He's so small - Hadji Halef Omar
He walks tall - Hadji Halef Omar
Greatest guy - Hadji Halef Omar
Feels just like - Hadji Halef Omar

Big brave heart - Hadji Halef Omar
He's so smart - Hadji Halef Omar
Though he's slight - Hadji Halef Omar
His brains can fight - Hadji Halef Omar

And he never bents his knee
Like the sheik of Araby [Araby]

He has been - tricky and true
He finds ways - leaving no clue
Showing of - boasting about
He's a king - you shouldn't doubt
Watch him...

Big brave heart - Hadji Halef Omar
He's so smart - Hadji Halef Omar




He's fragile - Hadji Halef Omar
But walks virile - Hadji Halef Omar
