Thread Name: Lyr Req: Mustafa / Mustapha - English lyrics?
Subject: Lyr Req: Alternative lyrics to 'Mustafa'
Looking for lyrics to the song "Mustafa" (or "Mustapha") that begin:
"There is a man working (or walking) on a hillside...". The lyrics are in English, and are probably taken from a poem.
"Mustafa" was a hit in the early sixties. The melody was traditional Lebanese and the lyrics used were nonsense mixture of French/Italian. I think there's an Italian version too, about ice-cream.
