Barani's Song

Oh, I'm the famous Mustapha Barani,
The richest man from Africa to Greece,
So I spend the autumn bathing in Miami
And the winter chasing chorus girls in Nice, Very Nice.
Yes, I'm a Sheik, wild but meek,
I take a new wife every week,
But I haven't found one yet that's really right,
I've been on the scoot, with King Farouk
And now they've given him the boot
And done things to him from an unfair height.
I'm a regular Valentino,
At least, when full of vino
And when I get rife, with a pretty wife,
The husband heads for Reno.
Yes I'm a sheik, not mild but meek,
And I get sheikered every week
But I've been good for the past few days
So I think I'd better change my ways tonight.
I'll start in early,
And sock the gin till I get screaming tight,
Then grab a girlie,
And wreak a little damage, if she's chic tonight.
