Good pals, blood brothers
Me and three others

Babkak
[HOWARD]
Omar
[ALAN]
Aladdin
[HOWARD]
Kassim
[BOTH]
Four friends, no closer
Get mad, Heck no sir!
Not us, four-strong, a permanent team
Four guys out poundin'
The pavement of Baghdad
Four guys with one Arabian dream
To stay this lazy
And play like crazy
[ALAN]
Babkak
[HOWARD]
Omar
[ALAN]
Aladdin
[HOWARD]
Kassim
[HOWARD]
(spoken)
Take it Omar
(music break)
[BOTH]
Folks say, "Hey go earn a living in Baghdad
Grow up, go earn the city's esteem!"
We say, "Tough noogie!
No way! Let's boogie!"

Get mad, heck no sir!
Not us, four-strong, a permanent team

To stay this lazy
And play likе crazy

How's that so far?
[HOWARD]
Not bad 'n' it's
[BOTH]
Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim!
(alternate lyrics)
True friends, no phonies
Me and my cronies
Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim
Four bums, none better
Not one go-getter
Unmotivated in the extreme
Four guys out making our music in Baghdad
In Baghdad we're the creme day le creme
Okay, supporters
Clap hands, throw quarters
Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim
Good pals, real chummy
Who's that? Guess dummy!
Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim
Old pals, none newer
None tried, none truer
Eight eyes with one impertinent gleam
Four guys out passing the turban in Baghdad
For letting off some musical steam
That's our finale
'Kay guys, let's blow this alley
Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, and
How's that so far? Not bad 'n' it's
Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim!
