Ahab The Arab by Ray Stevens


(intro: Arabian flute)

 

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

He'd jump on his camel named Clyde and ride

 

[Spoken] 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 US choice dancer in

The sultan's whole harem 'cause heh him and her had

A thing goin' you know and they'd been carryin' 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 (imitate Arabic speech and finish with "Sold! American)

Which is Arabic for "Stop Clyde!" and Clyde'd say (imitate camel

Sound) which is camel for "What the heck did he say anyway?"

Well he brought that camel to a screechin' halt (verbal screeching sound)

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

[Spoken in falsetto and possibly with female backups] "Rings on her fingers and

Bells on her toes and a bone in her nose ho ho."

 

[Spoken] There she was friends lyin' there in all her radiant

Beauty eating on a raisin grape apricot pomegranate

Bowl of chittlin's 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

It's flavor?" Yeah Ahab walked up to her and he say

(imitate Arabic speech) which is Arabic for "Let's 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 (suggestive giggles then outright laughter) "Crazy crazy crazy baby!"

 

('round and around and around and around and around and around and around)

 

Yeah and that's the story 'bout Ahab the Arab

The sheik of the burnin' sand

Ahab the Arab the swingin' sheik of the burnin' sand
