And I was the man who sold the Arabs the moon
The Emirate Princes, their hands manicured

Their servants with luggage, they followed behind
The African concubines, regal and tall

And I was the man who sold the Arabs the moon

They festooned their flags with crescent moons

The afternoon showers it brought during tea

I cowered before great battleship guns
