I wrote the originl version of this about 5 years ago. It's undergone periodic revisions as current events changed. I just finished an updated version by adding a third verse. No insults are intended and I hope no offense is taken. It starts off silly, gets serious in the third verse and ends up silly again.

The melody is sort of like, "Yes Sir, that's my baby" with a different middle 8.

YASSUH ARAFAT

Don't try to make sense out of it, there isn't any (except for the third verse)it's just a bunch of Arabic, Hebrew and Egyptian names strung together read it out loud

I

Yas-Suh, Arafat, Nasser Anwahr Sadat
Yas-Suh Yasir Arafat
Oh
We don't have a Tutenkhamen, our love affair Akhnaton
Yas-suh, Yassir Arafat
Oh
Cleopatra Ptolemy Fahrouk you baby, Ramses
Hot ship's leavin' it's Hotshepshut
Sailing away for Pharo-seas (or Pharisees)

Nefertiri cry, sis, Isis
A cup of Khadafi, then "Goodbye Sis"
Yas-suh, Yassir Arafat.

II
Yas-Suh and Mrs. "Yas-m'
Between Yemen me's a chasm

Mo-Ses Noah No sir
A-Bra-Ham aint kosher
Yas Suh Yassir Arafat.

Ayotolla you, you Ptolemy come in from Bah'Rain
PSYCHIATRIST IN BAGHDAD ALL KNOW HUSSEIN

O-Sama these days,Bin Laden,
Ghandi find what cave you're hid'n inYas-Sir Yas-Sir that's a fact
A trash Bin-'s a-waitin'

You changed the skyline, what a shame
Now you'll pay for all that pain

Kabul cuties, doff them burkhas
Guys can shave and show a smirk-uh
Yas-suh, Yassir Arafat.


I WANT IT UNDERSTOOD THAT I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO MY mUSLIM COUNTRYMEN. Of all the organized religions that I'm at all familiar with, my Islamic bretheren take their obligations more to heart than any others.

ALLAH AKHBAR, I believe it too. God is indeed great.

A Salaam, Shalome, Amor Vincet Omnia.
