Sultan's Choice

(album: SAHB Stories - 1976)

If you wanna do the boogie then come on, and do the boogie with me
I'm gonna tell you a story that's all about yesterday
She was a heavy hip mama with time on her hand
Looking for adventure in a far off land

The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice
The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice

Left one evening in a sand storm for the Nile
She said I can't stay long but I think I'm gonna stay a while
She had eyes like diamonds in a danger zone
The pyramid smiles the crocodiles moan

The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice
The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice

Even if the man is pure of heart
And he say's his prayer's by night
Even if the man needs a camel
A pretty girl can still be a distraction

The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice
The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice

So if you ever take the boogie woogie special to old Cairo
By the beats of the distant drum by the sign of the go go go
You can see a satin doll in a silk burnnes
With her arms all bare and hair hang loose

The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice
The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice

You can see a satin doll in a silk burnnes
With her arms all bare her hair hang loose

The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice
The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice

The sultan's... choice...
She got a golden belly and she got a silver voice

The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and a silver voice
The sultan's choice, the sultan's choice
A golden belly and silver voice

A heavy hip mamma with time on her hand
Looking for adventure in a far off land
The sultans choice, the sultans choice
