10 Cc - Oh Effendi Lyrics
In the middle of a caravanOn a four wheel drive oasisTheres a man with a thought in mindTo cash in on the desert facesHes got a truckload of yorkshire girlsFor your harem going placesAnd the border bums never sawThe guns in the whiskey casesTheres a real, big demandAnd its written in the palm of his handHes gonna change the face of the desertHes gonna sweep away the sandHang on sheik, Ive got a yellow streakI aint here, Im a mirageGet back des, keep it under your fezAnd dont give us away in the massageLook what I did for the pyramidI put a pool in and made it payI built an elevator and a film theatreAnd I shipped it to the u.s.a.`cos theres a real big demandAnd its written in the palm of my handIm gonna change the face of the desertIm gonna sweep away the sandHang on friends!Theres a lot more goodies in the pipelineSo this aint the time to close the dealHeres the dealOoh, now youve got a howitzer all of your ownOoh, and a panzer division to chauffeur you homeGun running is funBut hang on, friends, hang on friendsAllah be praised, theres a whole new crazeWere gonna shoot up the foreign legionAnd its up with the sheikAnd down with the frogWere gonna liberate the region!Oh effendi, were gonna bury your head in the sandOh effendi, you better get off my doggone landHey, prince of the moonbeamsSon of the sun,Light of a thousand starsYour gorillas are urbanAnd theres bourbon on your turbanAnd the sun shines out of your assOh effendi, Im gonna grovel in your wakeOh effendi, its all been a big mistakeYoure gonna cut out my liverIf I dont deliverThings are getting out of handIm going to ride off into the sunset andMake a deal with the promised landGoodbye friendsTheres no more goodies in the pipeline
