Rockin´in Bagdad

Over in Bagdad in the burning sand
We’ve got a new kinda rhythm that’s real cool and
They put a beat to the rhythm of their ancient land
Then what do they get, a crazy style
And it’s driving old Bagdad wild
They’re rockin' in Bagdad, having a ball
Jumping in Bagdad, climbing the wall
Bagdad’s rocking tonight
Doing that boogie up right
They’re going like mad, a-rocking in old Bagdad
A long time ago back in old Bagdad
The dance of the seven veils was the fad
The sultan got hip to these rhythm and blues
And now he’s got a pair of rocking shoes
His harem is a-bopping to a boogie beat
They even got the camels hopping down the street
A snake charmer threw his little flute away
Got a guitar now and he’s learning to play
Something’s really happened in old Bagdad
'Cause they’re doing that boogie
And they’re going like that
Bagdad’s rocking tonight
They’re doing that boogie up right
They’re going like mad, a-rocking in old Bagdad
Now them cats ride camels from miles around
To hear this new kinda rhythm that old Bagdad found
What happens when they hear this crazy mixed-up sound
They start to shake, like a snake
And they’re making old Bagdad quake
They’re rockin' in Bagdad, having a ball
Jumping in Bagdad, climbing the wall
Bagdad’s rocking tonight
Doing that boogie up right
They’re going like mad, a-rocking in old Bagdad
