The Lyrics
Get out of that lit'rature,
You're chattel; I'm a man.
Get out of the lit'rature,
You're chattel; I'm a man.
Unroll my carpet and then go tend my lambs.
CHORUS:
I said, sheik, chattel, and robes,
I said, sheik, chattel, and robes,
I said, sheik, chattel, and robes,
I said, sheik, chattel, and robes,
Hey, get yourself covered--I can see your shoe sole.
Wearin' that burka, it will keep you from vice,
Wearin' that burka, it will keep you from vice.
It'll keep you hot yet you'll stay cold as ice.
CHORUS
I can see one eye that's peeping out from your chador,
I can see one eye that's peeping out from your chador,
Even though I've got you covered from head to floor.
Some believe I'm doing you wrong, and you should vote.
Some believe I'm doing you wrong, and you should vote.
They think that you're more valuable than a goat.
CHORUS
Sheik, chattel, and robes!
You're chattel; I'm a man.
Get out of the lit'rature,
You're chattel; I'm a man.
Unroll my carpet and then go tend my lambs.
CHORUS:
I said, sheik, chattel, and robes,
I said, sheik, chattel, and robes,
I said, sheik, chattel, and robes,
I said, sheik, chattel, and robes,
Hey, get yourself covered--I can see your shoe sole.
Wearin' that burka, it will keep you from vice,
Wearin' that burka, it will keep you from vice.
It'll keep you hot yet you'll stay cold as ice.
CHORUS
I can see one eye that's peeping out from your chador,
I can see one eye that's peeping out from your chador,
Even though I've got you covered from head to floor.
Some believe I'm doing you wrong, and you should vote.
Some believe I'm doing you wrong, and you should vote.
They think that you're more valuable than a goat.
CHORUS
Sheik, chattel, and robes!
