EmShrieks of sheiks Gas they run across the Cmovie scrGeen
EmA thousand sand dune soldiers Gled by an ArCabian qGueen
EmAnd the harem girls mGove like fancy dancers in my diCrty dreGam
EmAnd I wake up on the flCoor holding a bed Glamp
EmMama, she comes in and screams
"GWoo! You been out with that tramp Cagain last nGigh
EmThat silver sequined ivory black biGtch
You know, the one tChat Mama don't liGke"
EmYou see, but, Mama, she sings me mooGn time melodies 
With this grCeat Top 40 hGook
EmBut Mama don't care, GPapa he just staCres and saGys,  
Em"Mary, look the girl's alrighCt, yeah, look the girl's alriGght"
And there's a CtensenesDs in the Emair, Gdon't you know, Ccan't you fGeel
There's soCmething hDanging tEmhereG, pull back the mist and Creveal Git            C              G              C      G
CEven if you Dfear what you heEmar,     GtCry to conceal Git
CAnd if what Mama fDeels is Emtoo reGal,  she just claims she Cdon't feel Git
So coCme out Emfrom behCind your bGunkerEms, the lifCtoff's bGeen a Cbust
Papa'Cs gone Emand MamaC's dead Gand burEmied in my Crocket Gdust'
You'rCe alone Emnow fCor the firGst time, but that's aDlright
Because all fear will completely disappear come the AEmrabian niCght
EmThe soundman Gsmiles and turns the dials to set the meter rCeading riGsing
EmHe pulls the singer's Gvoice from out of his pocket to see how the audiCence likes Git
EmAnd in the very first Grow sits sweet Jenny Rue with a bell on her shoe, she wants Chim to miGc it
EmHe flicks a switch buGt Jenny moves too fast and the audience sways to the sound of her shCotgun blGast
EmThe manager runs out, G"Check the band's arms for bullet holes and make that man roCll up his sleGeves"
EmThe drummer shoots Ghimself with cyanide then asks to Cbe relGieved
EmAnd me, I say, "It'Gs crazy in here, where's the stage door? 
WChich way is out? I gotta get up Gfor work"
EmThe man says, "WelGl, once, once you're in they all lead out, what's Cthe matter, ain't yoGu heard?

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

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"
