Lyrics

"Arabic Dancing"

I used to think I'd done everything I'd ever want to
I used to think there was nothing left at all
then I went Arabic dancing
then I went Arabic dancing

A-a-a-a-a-arabic dancing
you dance like an Arab
A-a-a-a-a-arabic dancing
you dance like an Arab
then I went Arabic dancing
then I went Arabic dancing

ride the burning sand
ride the burning sand
cross the burning sand
cross the burning
A-a-a-a-arabic dancing

Pilgrims to Mecca with a blazing faith
give thanks to Allah and praise to Mohammed the man
then they go Arabic dancing
then they go Arabic dancing

A-a-a-a-a-arabic dancing
you dance like an Arab
A-a-a-a-a-arabic dancing
you dance like an Arab
then I went Arabic dancing
then I went Arabic dancing
come -a come-a come-arabic dancing
come-a come-a come-arabic dancing

ride the burning sand
ride the burning sand
cross the burning sand
cross the burning
A-a-a-a-arabic dancing

(screams)
