Rockin´ in Baghdad |
| 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 |
