Ray Stevens - The Sheik of R&B lyrics

Well now there was a sheik from Saudi Had a Rolls and two Ferraris And a harem that would please any man Oh yeah A palace I am told Just loaded with gold A hundred thousand acre farm in Sudan Oh, wells pumpin' every day and night But he wasn't satisfied with his material life Something was missing, he was so confused And then he started digging Rhythm and Blues Yeah one night by accident Out of a US Army tent He heard a strange new, jumpin' beat Oh, it was pleasantly disturbin' And it moved him from his turban To the sandals on his feet Ray Charles, B.B. King, and Bob Edgar Ran James Brown and Bo Diddly and Desi Anderson He said at last, "I found my destiny Yeah, I'll be the Sheik of R&B" (Chorus) Now he's the Sheik of R&B The rhythm and blues king of all Arabee Oh he's as cool as an oasis Hotter than the sun He's a camel kickin' guitar pickin' son-of-a-gun! Yeah! You just got to see The Sheik of R&B Now during the Embargo He took off for Chicago Just the city to play some blues, yeah He rented out the Hyatt Then decided he'd just buy it Parked his camels all down the loop Now he's in the Windy City on the south side of town Playin' that guitar and really gettin' down You just got to see The Sheik of R&B (Chorus) Now he's the Sheik of R&B He's the rhythm and blues king of all Arabee Oh he's as cool as an oasis Hotter than the desert sun He's a camel kickin' guitar pickin' son-of-a-gun! Yeah! You just got to see The Sheik of R&B You just got to see The Sheik of R&B Yeah! Yow! You're too cool, Abdul!
