| In the middle of a caravan | 
| On a four-wheel drive oasis | 
| There’s a man with a thought in mind | 
| To cash in on the desert faces | 
| He’s got a truckload of Yorkshire girls | 
| For the harem going places | 
| And the border bums never saw | 
| The guns in the whiskey cases | 
| There’s a real big demand | 
| And it’s written in the palm of his hand | 
| He’s gonna change the face of the desert | 
| He’s gonna sweep away the sand | 
| Hang on sheik, I’ve got a yellow streak | 
| I ain’t here, I’m a mirage | 
| Get back Des, keep it under your fez | 
| And don’t give us away in the massage | 
| Look what I did for the pyramid | 
| I put a pool in and made it pay | 
| I built an elevator and a film theater | 
| And shipped it to the U.S.A | 
| Cause there’s a real big demand | 
| And it’s written in the palm of my hand | 
| I’m gonna change the face of the desert | 
| I’m gonna sweep away the sand | 
| Hang on friends! | 
| There’s a lot more goodies in the pipeline | 
| So this ain’t the time to close the deal | 
| Here’s the deal | 
| Ooh, now you’ve got a Howitzer all of your own | 
| Ooh, and a Panzer division to chauffeur you home | 
| Gun-running is fun | 
| But hang on, friends | 
| Hang on friends | 
| Allah be praised, there’s a whole new craze | 
| We’re gonna shoot up the Foreign Legion | 
| And it’s up with the Sheikh | 
| And down with the Frog | 
| We’re gonna liberate the region | 
| Oh Effendi, we’re gonna bury your head in the sand | 
| Oh Effendi, you better get off my doggone land | 
| Hey, Prince of the Moonbeams | 
| Son of the Sun | 
| Light of a thousand stars | 
| Your guerillas are urban | 
| And there’s bourbon on your turban | 
| And the sun shines out of your ass | 
| Oh Effendi, I’m gonna grovel in your wake | 
| Oh Effendi, it’s all been a big mistake | 
| You’re gonna cut out my liver | 
| If I don’t deliver | 
| Things are getting out of hand | 
| I’m going to ride off into the sunset | 
| I’ll make a deal with the promised land | 
| Goodbye friends | 
| There’s no more goodies in the pipeline |
