"The Bel-Arabs" Parody by Guy DiRito
(Based on the ballad of Jed Clampett by Lester Flatt And Earl Skruggs)
This here's a little story 'bout this man Ahmed,
A not so poor emir, had him quite an oil spread.
Then one day they were shootin' up Kirkuk,
Was a mis-guided round, now his house is ker-put.
Broiled that is, Mang-old, History.
Not the first thing to go, 'Med lost some other lair,
Kinfolk said 'Med let's move to Belair.
Said war's too stormy, there's a better place it seems,
So they loaded up their butts movin' to that Belair scene.
Thrilled, they is,
Warrin' fools, Mudejars.
The Bel-Arabs!
So if you're in Belair, say hey, to 'Med at his new scene,
Tell him that we're sorry and then blame the Fedayeen.
Our hope you're likin' very much your new locality,
We hope they'll be no shelling on your current property.
Fedayeen that is.
Infidels, Check the Jews out.
This ain't Iraq now, Emir.
In the episode the song ran thusly:
"So they loaded up the Rolls and moved near Beverleeeee.... Belair, that is. Big houses. Swimmin' pools. Jews."
bump! :^)
LOL...MUD
