<blockquote><p>Lyrics:</p>
<p>Hey there, Khalilah, what&#8217;s it like in Baghdad City?<br />
I&#8217;m 3,000 miles away but girl tonight you&#8217;re looking pretty<br />
Can&#8217;t you see?<br />
You&#8217;re looking really hot, baby.  Literally.</p>
<p>Hey there, Khalilah, I am at my latest booking<br />
But I&#8217;m writing you tonight to say how much I miss your cooking<br />
So I sob.<br />
Wipe all my tears up with a mop.  There&#8217;s no kabob.<br />
Oh, it&#8217;s how you cook the meat.  How you cook the meat.</p>
<p>Hey there Khalilah, you stay good and cook some coosa<br />
Til I&#8217;m back there making money at the Improv in Falluja<br />
Give it time.<br />
I&#8217;m bombing really bad this time.  No, not that kind.</p>
<p>Hey there, Khalilah, if I must eat one more Twinkie<br />
Well I might just have to lick my arm and then bite off my pinky<br />
What a scene.  The only Arab food I see&#8217;s<br />
Attached to me</p>
<p>Oh, it&#8217;s how you cook the meat.  How you cook the meat.</p>
<p>3,000 miles is far away, but I just want kabob today<br />
I&#8217;d eat it all up with a knife and fork.<br />
Why am I so far from you?  All they have here is bar-b-que<br />
Which would be good except I don&#8217;t eat pork.<br />
The ketchup here is really bad, the mustard&#8217;s not a deadly gas<br />
This pizza box tastes better, that&#8217;s for sure<br />
And it&#8217;s cardboard</p>
<p>Hey there, Khalilah, you&#8217;re tahini on falafal<br />
No, you&#8217;re not sesame paste but girl I just can&#8217;t eat without you<br />
So you know.  I&#8217;ll have kabob when I get home.<br />
And chug rose water like a pro<br />
Cuz I do not like Domino&#8217;s<br />
Oh no I don&#8217;t.</p></blockquote>

Eat it on top of a camel

<blockquote><p><span>Lyrics:</span></p>
<p>Tabbouleh<br />
Tabbouleh Tabbouleh<br />
Makes me shake<br />
shake shake my booty<br />
Eat it with lots of falafal<br />
Eat it on top of a camel</p>
<p>Dance.<br />
Cuz it&#8217;s the only beat<br />
That&#8217;s gonna stick in your head<br />
and stick in your teeth</p>
<p>You gotta push push<br />
Push the tush<br />
When you eat an Arab salad<br />
that is not fettoush</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a hearty party<br />
tasting yum yum<br />
Taste that parsley<br />
Shake your bum bum</p>
<p>In the club.<br />
Don&#8217;t need a shorty/cutie<br />
All I need to take is<br />
a bowl of tabbouleh</p>
<p>No we don&#8217;t need hip hop<br />
house or trance<br />
Cuz this song about a salad<br />
make you shake your pants</p>
<p>No we don&#8217;t need groovy<br />
techno techno<br />
Just tabbouleh<br />
in your head hole</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t need bouncers<br />
or velvet rope<br />
I hope by now you<br />
get the point</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t need glow stick<br />
or Red Bull vodka<br />
You just gotta shake<br />
where you make the kaka</p>
<p>First you take parsley from your sister<br />
Chop it off like hand of shoplifter<br />
Then take a tomato and dice it<br />
don&#8217;t forget to add all the spices</p>
<p>Then you take a half cup of burghul<br />
Oh my God, it&#8217;s gone taste so good<br />
Yes this recipe is the bomb but<br />
it tastes best when it&#8217;s made by Mamma</p>
<p>In Lebanon<br />
they eat it with coffee<br />
In Libya<br />
eat it with Quadafi</p>
<p>Jordan, Iraq<br />
Bahrain, Saudi<br />
Everybody love<br />
the tabbouleh</p>
<p>In Syria<br />
they eat it the fastest<br />
and make sure to<br />
shake shake Damascus</p>
<p>Them in Yemen<br />
lemon the food-y<br />
And Africa they<br />
move move Djibouti</p>
<p>Tabbouleh<br />
I hope I will finish<br />
It to me is like<br />
Popeye&#8217;s spinach</p>
<p>but instead of getting<br />
muscles in both arms<br />
I get a moving groove<br />
in my buttocks</p>
<p>Met a girl<br />
She was a cutie<br />
She said she&#8217;d<br />
make me tabbouleh</p>
<p>But she made it<br />
without the tomatoes<br />
So I had to tell her<br />
See you later</p></blockquote>
