I'm just a middle-aged middle-eastern camel-herdin' man
I got a little 2 bedroom cave here in north Afghanistan
Things used to be real nice and they got out of hand
Since they moved in, they call themselves the Taliban
Yeah, the Talibans, the Taliban, baby, oh yeah

Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head
That covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she's just like me
No she can't stand the Taliban, the Taliban, baby

But you know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up
And it'll be ride, camel ride
My old lady she'll be here with me just smilin' right by my side
We should do just fine out around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban

I know where your coming from brother
This is a patriotic love song
So y'all feel free to salute if you want to
I'll give you permission

Now they attacked New York city 'cause they thought they could win
Said they would stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr. Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said
"Now you sons-of-bitches you better not be doing
Any business with that Taliban"

So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
Until those big U.S. jets came flying in one night
And they dropped little bombs all over their holy land
Man you should have seen them run like rabbits they ran, the Taliban

But you know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up
And it'll be ride, camel ride
My old lady she'll be here with me just smilin' right by my side
We should do just fine out around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban
We'll bid a fair adieu and give a big boner to the Taliban
