Ahab the Arab
Kinky Friedman gelesen von Wiglaf Droste Lyrics

Let me tell you Ã? Â? bout Ahab the Arab, the Sheik of the burning sand
Allow me to explain about Ahab the Arab, the leader in the desert wasteland

He had emeralds and rubies just a-dripping off Ã? Â? a him and a ring on every finger of his hand
He possessed numerous jewels on his body, and a ring on each of his fingers

He wore a big old turban wrapped around his head, a scimitar by his side
He had a large headwrap atop his head, paired with a curved sword by his side

And every evening about midnight he'd jump on his camel named Clyde.
Each night at midnight, he would leap onto his camel, which he had named Clyde

And ride silently through the night to the Sultan's tent
He rode quietly through the night to the tent of the Sultan

Where he would secretly meet up with Fatima of the Seven Veils.
He would have a clandestine meeting with Fatima, a dancer with seven veils

She was the swingin'est number one dancer in the Sultan's whole harem
Fatima was the most incredible dancer in the Sultan's harem

It was like him and her they had a little Adam going, you see, Behind the old bugger's back
It was as if they were secretly carrying on a relationship behind the back of the Sultan

And you could hear him talking to his camel
Ahab was heard speaking to his camel

And as he rode out across the dunes past the oil wells His voice would cut through the still night desert air
As he rode through the desert, his voice echoed through the stillness and passed by oil wells

And he'd say, Ã? Â? Maaaaaaa oyy oyy oyy! Ã? Â?
He exclaimed, 'Maaaaaaa oyy oyy oyy!' which is Arabic for, 'Oh, baby...'

And Clyde would say, Ã? Â? Yewrah raaaoww uh uh uh uh uh! Ã? Â?
Clyde, the camel, would reply with 'Yewrah raaaoww uh uh uh uh uh!' in response

Well, he brought his camel to a screeching halt at the rear of Fatima's tent
Ahab suddenly stopped his camel at the back of Fatima's tent

Jumped off Clyde, snuck around the corner and into the tent he went
He quickly got off Clyde the camel, snuck around the corner, and entered the tent

There he saw Fatima laying on a, on a zebra skin rug
Inside, he found Fatima lounging on a zebra skin rug

With rings on her fingers, bells on her toes and a bone in her nose, eeeeyye
She had jewelry everywhere, from her fingers to her toes, and even a bone in her nose

There she was friends and neighbors, laying there in all her radiant beauty
She was laying there looking beautiful in front of everyone present

She was eating on a raisin, had a grape, and an apricot, and a pomegranate, A bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three Hershey bars, four burritos
She was snacking on a collection of foods, including raisins, grapes, apricots, and pomegranates. Additionally, she had a bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three Hershey bars, and four burritos

Sipping on a frozen margarita, listening to a transistor radio, Watching the Grand Ole Opry, reading Rolling Stone magazine and singing Rocky Mountain High
Fatima was enjoying a frozen margarita while listening to a transistor radio and watching the Grand Ole Opry. She was also reading Rolling Stone magazine and singing 'Rocky Mountain High'

And Ahab walked up to her and he said, Ã? Â? Yeeeiiaaaahowowhidehowdihi! Ã? Â?
Ahab approached Fatima and uttered, 'Yeeeiiaaaahowowhidehowdihi!', which is Arabic for, 'Let's boogie again like we did last summer, baby.'

And she said, Ã? Â? Oh, Ah
Fatima replied simply with, 'Oh, Ah'
