Verse 2:

	Some Santa Claus-like face of note
	Entreats my ears to set afloat
	My feeble, sick, and weary brain

	And hide inside my overcoat
	And hurriedly begin to quote
	And some Arabian   sheik most grand
	Impersonates a (x02210@1) hot dog stand

Instrumental break:

	(guitar solo over verse chords)

Verse 3:

	Red Cross ambulance outside
	Could only mean that I must hide
	'Til dusk and finally the night
	When I will make ahasty (x02210@1)flight
	Across the sea and far away
	To where the weary exiles stay
	And some Arabian   oil well
	Impersonates a (x02210@1) padded cell

Coda:

	     Bb (x1333x@1) Gm (355333@1)     Cm (x3101x@1) Gm (355333@1)And some Arabian   oil well
	Bb (x1333x@1)       Gm (355333@1)     Cm (x3101x@1)    Gm (355333@1)   Impersonates a (x02210@1) padded cell
