E-mail:[email protected] Em G C G Shrieks of sheiks as they run across the movie screen Em G C G A thousand sand dune soldiers led by an Arabian queen Em G C G And the harem girls move like fancy dancers in my dirty dream Em C G And I wake up on the floor holding a bed lamp Em Mama, she comes in and screams G C G "Woo! You been out with that tramp again last nigh Em G That silver sequined ivory black bitch C G You know, the one that Mama don't like" Em G You see, but, Mama, she sings me moon time melodies C G With this great Top 40 hook Em G C G But Mama don't care, Papa he just stares and says, Em C G "Mary, look the girl's alright, yeah, look the girl's alright" C D Em G C G And there's a tenseness in the air, don't you know, can't you feel C D Em G C G There's something hanging there, pull back the mist and reveal it C G C G C D Em G C G Even if you fear what you hear, try to conceal it C D Em G C G And if what Mama feels is too real, she just claims she don't feel it C Em C G Em C G C So come out from behind your bunkers, the liftoff's been a bust C Em C G Em C G Papa's gone and Mama's dead and buried in my rocket dust' C Em C G D You're alone now for the first time, but that's alright Em C Because all fear will completely disappear come the Arabian night Em G C G The soundman smiles and turns the dials to set the meter reading rising Em G C G He pulls the singer's voice from out of his pocket to see how the audience likes it Em G C G And in the very first row sits sweet Jenny Rue with a bell on her shoe, she wants him to mic it Em G C G He flicks a switch but Jenny moves too fast and the audience sways to the sound of her shotgun blast Em G C G The manager runs out, "Check the band's arms for bullet holes and make that man roll up his sleeves" Em G C G The drummer shoots himself with cyanide then asks to be relieved Em G And me, I say, "It's crazy in here, where's the stage door? C G Which way is out? I gotta get up for work" Em G C G The man says, "Well, once, once you're in they all lead out, what's the matter, ain't you heard? C Em C G C Em C G There's a war going on outside and I'm paying you to sing like a bird C Em C G D So get in and get tough or get up and get out 'cause things aren't too tight" Em C I said, "Don't worry, everything's gonna loosen up come the Arabian Night"
