Oh Effendi
In the middle of a caravanOn a four wheel drive oasisThere's a man with a thought in mindTo cash in on the desert facesHe's got a truckload of Yorkshire girlsFor your harem going placesAnd the border bums never sawThe guns in the whiskey cases
There's a real, big demandAnd it's written in the palm of his handHe's gonna change the face of the desertHe's gonna sweep away the sand
Hang on sheik, I've got a yellow streakI ain't here, I'm a mirageGet back Des, keep it under your fezAnd don't give us away in the massage
Look 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 there's a real big demandAnd it's written in the palm of my handI'm gonna change the face of the desertI'm gonna sweep away the sand
Hang on friends!There's a lot more goodies in the pipelineSo this ain't the time to close the dealHere's the dealOoh, now you've got a Howitzer all of your ownOoh, and a Panzer division to chauffeur you homeGun running is funBut hang on, friends, hang on friends
Allah be praised, there's a whole new crazeWe're gonna shoot up the foreign legionAnd it's up with the sheikAnd down with the frogWe're gonna liberate the region!
Oh Effendi, we're gonna bury your head in the sandOh Effendi, you better get off my doggone land
Hey, Prince of the moonbeamsSon of the Sun,Light of a thousand starsYour gorillas are urbanAnd there's bourbon on your turbanAnd the sun shines out of your ass
Oh Effendi, I'm gonna grovel in your wakeOh Effendi, it's all been a big mistake
You're gonna cut out my liverIf I don't deliverThings are getting out of handI'm going to ride off into the sunset andMake a deal with the promised land
Goodbye friendsThere's no more goodies in the pipeline
