The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend

I was flyin' the Sahara, when I ran out of gas
My little plane got crashed and burned and bent
I was taken prisoner by the local Bedouin tribe
They took me to the Sultan in his tent

He said, "I could kill you if I wanted to,"
He gave me a dark and evil look
"But I hear you had a run-in with the warlord down the road,
And that makes you okay in my book"

Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend
That makes us good buddies 'til the bitter end
Now if you cross me, son, you will regret what you have done
But I'm lettin' you off the hook 'til then
Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend

After all of this I started to relax
I asked the Sultan for a glass of water
When a pretty lass brought me a glass, I nearly had a heart attack
The Sultan, he said, "This here is my daughter"

I nearly froze, paralyzed with fright
I had been rockin' with that babe down in the Casbah late last night
She did not let on, or else I would be dead
I recalled the words her daddy said:

The enemy of my enemy is my friend
That makes us good buddies 'til the bitter end
Now if you cross me, son, you will regret what you have done
But I'm lettin' you off the hook 'til then
Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend

I got his daughter outta there in the nick of time
A caper worthy of Jean Paul Belmondo
The other warlord took us in and set us up real good
Right outside of Cairo in a condo

He said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend
That makes us good buddies 'til the bitter end
Now if you cross me, son, you will regret what you have done
But I'm lettin' you off the hook 'til then
Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend

The enemy of my enemy is my friend
