Ahab The Arab
Artist: Ray Stevens
                            	
Let me tell you about
Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the

burnin` sands
He had emeralds and rubies
Just drippin` off him
And a ring on every

finger of his hand
He wore a big ol` turban
Wrapped around his head
And a scimitar by his side

And
Every evenin`
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
The swingingest

number one dancer
In the sultan`s whole harem
`Cause like him and her
had a thing goin`

You know and they`d
been carryin` on
For some time
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

Imitate Aramic speech
Which is Aramic for
whoa babies
And Clyde would say

Imitate camel sound
Well he brought his camel
to a screechin` halt
In the rear of Fatima`s tent

Jumped off Clyde
Snuck around the corner
And into the tent he went
There he saw Fatima

Layin` on a zebra skin rug
With rings on her fingers and
Bells on her toes
And a bone in her nose ho ho

There she was friends
and neighbors
Layin` there in all
her radiant beauty

Eating on a raisin
and a grape
And an apricot
and a pomegranate

A bowl of chittlings
Two bananas
three Hershey bars
And sippin` on

a ROC Coca Cola
Listenin` to her transistor
Watchin` the Grand Ole Opry
And readin` Mad Magazine

while she sang
Does your chewing gum
lose it`s flavor
And Ahab walk up to her

and he say
Imitate Aramic speech
Which is Aramic for
Let`s twist again like

we did last summer babies
And she say
Giggles
Crazy baby

All of a sudden
the sultan walked in
Ahab knew that
this was the end

Him and Fatima
was caught by surprise
And the sultan had
fire flashin` outta his eyes

Well the sultan
charged at Ahab
Intendin` to make a dent
In his head

But he fled with Fatima
And out of the tent they went
They jumped on Clyde
And started to ride

Cuttin` out across the sand
With the sultan`s
whole army in hot pursuit
On and on they ran

Well to make a
long story short
They got away
`Cause there wasn`t

no animal alive
What could keep up with Clyde
Once he got started
`Cause he was the

swiftest steed
On the whole desert babies
And they made it
across the border

Where Ahab hocked
all his rubies and emeralds
And they bought `em
a swingin` little

split-level pad
And lived happy ever after
Yeah
And that`s the story

about Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the
burning sand
Ahab the Arab

The swingin` sheik
of the burning sand
Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the

burning sand
Ahab the Arab
The swingin` sheik
of the burning sand
