The state department sent our son to the middle east to play banjo. Just saying. Nice for him.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The state department sent our son to the middle east to play banjo.

Oh I've come to downtown Jeddah with
A banjo on my knee
Where I bake in sweltering weather
For some Fed'ral Agency

Oh it is so dry here every day
I yearn to slake my thirst
But with no wine, beer or whiskey
This place has to be the worst

Oh, Mohammed
Don't accuse me of such sin
Save that for the next Yank infidel
Who comes playing the mandolin
