Eddie Condon - The Sheik of Araby Lyrics

Lyrics The Sheik of Araby - Eddie Condon




I'm the sheik of Araby
Wait, wait there man, what in the world you singing about
Don't you know that's all out of date?
Why who are you?
I'm the sheik, man, that's who I be
And all the gals, they fall for me
You lovin' men from Araby
Ain't sheik no more, you used to be
You sang a song for years it seems
But there's better ways to capture queens
I choose this way, it fits my means
Here's one to gals in New Orleans
These sheiks from Araby won't do
I know that you can see it too
You've heard my song and now I'm through
I'll leave the verdict up to you
