Spike Jones & His City Slickers
Spike Jones was an American musician and bandleader specializing in performing satirical arrangements of popular songs. Ballads and classical works receiving the Jones treatment would be punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells, and outlandish vocals. Through the 1940s and early 1950s, the band recorded under the title Spike Jones and his City Slickers and toured the United States and Canada under the title The Musical Depreciation Revue.

I'm the Sheik of Araby,
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you're asleep
Into your tent I'll creep.
And the stars that shine above,
Will light our way to love.
You'll roam this land with me,
I'm the Sheik of Araby.
Oh, I'm the Sheik of Araby
And all the women worship me.
You should see them follow me around. Not bad.
Even wives of all the other sheiks,
They beg to kiss my rosy cheeks
And that ain't bad -- in fact, that's good, I've found. I'm a cad!
When I lay down to sleep
I'm counting girls instead of sheep
From my harem I can't scare 'em out. Why should I?
They're beauties from all races,
And some have pretty faces.
I'm the Sheik who knows what love is all about
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you're asleep
Into your tent I'll creep.
And the stars that shine above,
Will light our way to love.
You'll roam this land with me,
I'm the Sheik of Araby.
Oh, I'm the Sheik of Araby
And all the women worship me.
You should see them follow me around. Not bad.
Even wives of all the other sheiks,
They beg to kiss my rosy cheeks
And that ain't bad -- in fact, that's good, I've found. I'm a cad!
When I lay down to sleep
I'm counting girls instead of sheep
From my harem I can't scare 'em out. Why should I?
They're beauties from all races,
And some have pretty faces.
I'm the Sheik who knows what love is all about

All you want from me
are three little words (um um um ah)
you just get me laughing (e e ur ur ur)
"quite absurd!"
i know i'm with you now
but this all might end
so save all the "i love yous"
and lets not pretend
cos' you wont hear it now
and you wont hear it then
(i love you no)
the three words that begin
what three words always end (end)
you can be a little full on
cos' i know what you need
( h ah ah oh)
that really doesn't mean
you'll get it from me (e e)
lying to self
doesn't made it easier (g get ah)
save us both the time
"lets be together we'll be fine"
you say but....
cos' you wont hear it now
and you wont hear it then
(i love you no)
cos' you won't hear it now
and you wont hear it then no
those three words that begin
and three words always end end end end end
take the time
and you might understand
feelings have no thoughts
and they ain't got any plans
so don't be surprised
when i look in your eyes
for all i want from you
is a kiss or two
you wont hear it now
and you wont hear it then
(i love you no)
the three words that begin
what three words always end
(i love you no no)
you won't hear it
you won't hear it now
you won't hear it then
no no no
those three words that begin
what three words always end
huh!
cos' you don't know
what i'm talking about
when you see it written
in the clouds
you wont hear it now
and you wont hear it then
(i love you no)
the three words that begin
what three words always end
(i love you no no)
cos' you wont hear it now
and you wont hear it then
