Let me tell you about Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the burning 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
Hed jump on his camel named Clyde, and ride

 Silently through the night to the sultans tent where he
                would secretly meet up with Fatima of the
Seven Veils, 
                swingingest grade A number one US choice
dancer in
                the sultans whole harem, cause, heh, him and
her had 
                a thing goin, you know, and theyd been
carryin on
                for some time now behind the sultans 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 hed say 
                which is Arabic for, Stop, Clyde! and Clyded
say, imitate camel 
                sound, which is camel for, What the heck did
he say anyway? 

Well, he brought that camel to a screechin halt 
In the rear of Fatimas 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, lyin there in all her radiant 
                beauty, eating on a raisin, grape, apricot,
pomegranate, 
                bowl of chittlins, two bananas, three
Hershey bars,
                sipping 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 say,
                , which is Arabic for Lets twist 
                again like we did last summer, baby.!!  Ha,
ha, ha!!
               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, crazy, crazy baby!

Yeah, and thats the story bout Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the burnin sand
Ahab the Arab, the swingin sheik of the burnin sand
