Oh Effendi Lyrics

    In the middle of a caravan
    On a four wheel drive oasis
    There's a man with a thought in mind
    To cash in on the desert faces
    He's got a truckload of yorkshire girls
    For your harem going places
    And the border bums never saw
    The guns in the whiskey cases
    There's a real, big demand
    And it's written in the palm of his hand
    He's gonna change the face of the desert
    He's gonna sweep away the sand
    Hang on sheik, i've got a yellow streak
    I ain't here, i'm a mirage
    Get back des, keep it under your fez
    And don'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.
    `cos there's a real big demand
    And it's written in the palm of my hand
    I'm gonna change the face of the desert
    I'm gonna sweep away the sand
    Hang on friends!
    There's a lot more goodies in the pipeline
    So this ain't the time to close the deal
    Here's the deal
    Ooh, now you'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, there's a whole new craze
    We're gonna shoot up the foreign legion
    And it's up with the sheik
    And down with the frog
    We're gonna liberate the region!
    Oh effendi, we'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 there's bourbon on your turban
    And the sun shines out of your ass
    Oh effendi, i'm gonna grovel in your wake
    Oh effendi, it's all been a big mistake
    You're gonna cut out my liver
    If i don't deliver
    Things are getting out of hand
    I'm going to ride off into the sunset and
    Make a deal with the promised land
    Goodbye friends
    There's no more goodies in the pipeline
