A D
AIn the middle of a caravan
On a four wheel drive oasis
DThere's a man with a thought in mind
To cash in on the desert faces
AHe's got a truckload of Yorkshire girls
For your harem going places
DAnd the border bums never saw
The guns in the whiskey cases
There's a Areal, big demand
And it's written in the palm of his hand
He's gonna Dchange the face of the desert
He's gonna sweep away the D5sand Gadd9 Cm6/D
AHang on sheik, I've got a yellow streak
I ain't here, I'm a mirage
DGet back Des, keep it under your fez
And don't give us away in the massage
ALook what I did for the pyramid
I put a pool in and made it pay
I built an Delevator and a film theatre
And I shipped it to the U.S.A.
`Cos there's a Areal big demand
And it's written in the palm of my hand
I'm gonna Dchange the face of the desert
I'm gonna sweep away the D5sand
Gadd9Hang on fCm6riends!

D E A D
AAllah be praised, there's a whole new craze
We're gonna shoot up the foreign legion
And it's Dup with the sheik
And down with the Frog
We're gonna liberate the region!
AOh Effendi, we're gonna bury your head in the sand
DOh Effendi, you better get off my doggone land
Hey, APrince of the moonbeams
Son of the Sun, Light of a thousand stars
Your Dgorillas are urban And there's bourbon on your turban
And the sun shines out of your ass
AOh Effendi, I'm gonna grovel in your wake
DOh Effendi, it's all been a big mistake
You're gonna Acut out my liver If I don't deliver
Things are getting out of hand
I'm going to Dride off into the sunset and
Make a deal with the promised D5land
Gadd9Goodbye frCm6iends
There's F#augno more goodies in the piAaugpeline
