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

U S 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 " R C " 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 baby "
