In the middle of a caravan
on a four wheel drive oasis
thereand's a man with a thought in mind
to cash in on the desert faces
heand's got a truckload of yorkshire girls
for your harem going places
and the border bums never saw
the guns in the whiskey cases
Thereand's a real, big demand
and itand's written in the palm of his hand
heand's gonna change the face of the desert
heand's gonna sweep away the sand
Hang on sheik, iand've got a yellow streak
i ainand't here, iand'm a mirage
get back des, keep it under your fez
and donand't give us away in the massage
Look what i did for the pyramid
i put a pool in and made it pay
i built an elevator and a film theatre
and i shipped it to the u.s.a.
and'cos thereand's a real big demand
and itand's written in the palm of my hand
iand'm gonna change the face of the desert
iand'm gonna sweep away the sand
Hang on friends!
thereand's a lot more goodies in the pipeline
so this ainand't the time to close the deal
hereand's the deal
ooh, now youand've got a howitzer all of your own
ooh, and a panzer division to chauffeur you home
gun running is fun
but hang on, friends, hang on friends
Allah be praised, thereand's a whole new craze
weand're gonna shoot up the foreign legion
and itand's up with the sheik
and down with the frog
weand're gonna liberate the region!
Oh effendi, weand're gonna bury your head in the sand
oh effendi, you better get off my doggone land
Hey, prince of the moonbeams
son of the sun,
light of a thousand stars
your gorillas are urban
and thereand's bourbon on your turban
and the sun shines out of your ass
Oh effendi, iand'm gonna grovel in your wake
oh effendi, itand's all been a big mistake
Youand're gonna cut out my liver
if i donand't deliver
things are getting out of hand
iand'm going to ride off into the sunset and
make a deal with the promised land
Goodbye friends
thereand's no more goodies in the pipeline
