Ahab The Arab

In the style of

Ray Stevens

Lyrics

let me tell ya 'bout
ahab the arab
the sheik of
the burnin' sand

he had emeralds
and rubies
just drippin' off-a 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

swingin'est
grade "a"
number one
u.s. choice dancer
in the sultan's
whole harem

'cause ha him and her
had a thing goin'
you know and
they'd been
carryin' on
for some time now
behind the
sultan's back

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
oh ya b-b-b-yah
b-b-b-yah
b-b-b-yah
b-b-b-yah ay ay oh ay
ah ah oh ah oh ay ah

oh ay ya ay ah
buddy ah mah
aysh mah hoy
ya hoy ya ee ahsh a-my
sold american

which is arabic for
stop clyde
and clyde say
blee ah blee ah
which is camel for
what the heck
did he say anyway

well
he brought that camel
to a screechin' halt
eeet
in the rear
of fatima's tent

jumped off clyde
and snuck around
the corner and
into the tent he went

there he saw fatima
layin' on
a zebra skin rug
with

ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha
ho ho
there she was friends
ha ha ha

lyin' there
in all her
radiant beauty
eating on a raisin

grape
apricot
pomegranate
bowl of chitlins
two bananas
three hershey bars
sippin' on a
rc co-cola

listenin' to her
transistor
watchin' the
grand ole opry
on the tube

readin' a mad magazine
while she sung
does your
chewing gum
lose its flavor
yeah

ahab walked up to her
and he said
oh ya b-b-b-yah
b-b-b-yah ay ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah

which is arabic for
let's twist again
like we did
last summer baby
ha ha ha
you know
what i mean woh

she looked up at him
from off her rug
give him one of them
sly looks
and she say

oh oh hoo hoo
hoo hoo hoo
ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha
ah ha ah ah
crazy crazy
crazy crazy

yeah
and that's
the story 'bout
ahab the arab
the sheik of
the burnin' sand

ahab the arab
the swingin'est sheik
of the burnin' sand
