Come listen to a story ‘bout a man named Ahmed
Poor Camel driver barely kept his family fed.
Then one day- he was shootin’ at some Jews
When up through the ground comes a bubblin’ ooze
Ohil that is... Black Gold... Tehran tea
Now the first thing ya know, Ahmed’s a millionaire
Kin folk said: Ahmed, Move away from there!
said: Californy is the place that you’d do fair
So the loaded up their camel and they moved to BelAir
swimmin pools....movie stars....Jews
The Bel Arabs!
-From SNL
Was that really SNL? That’s funny.
I remember that well, but your lyrics are a bit off.
Come listen to a story ‘bout a man named Abdul
Poor Arab sheik barely kept his gas tank full.
Then one day- he was shootin’ at some Jews
When up through the ground comes a bubblin’ ooze
Oil that is... Black Gold... Saudi Soda
Now the first thing ya know, Abdul’s a millionaire
Kin folk said: Abdul, Move away from there!
said: Californy is the place that you’d do fair
So the loaded up their camel and they moved to BelAir
(next to Beverly Hills, that is, swimmin pools....movie stars....Jews)
The Bel-Arabs!
