Very good, it’s got a Fats Waller Eraserhead vibe to it which is my all time favorite movie. That is an old song, at least 100 years old from the 1920s. I always thought it should have been called ‘The Sheik of Arabia’ but who knows.

Thanks!

A web search should find the lyrics, but if you’re doing your own please post them!
