    Abdul Abulbul Amir



    Written
    By: Percy French





    The sons of the
    prophet were hardy and bold,


    And quite unaccustomed to fear,

    But the bravest of these was a man, I am told

    Named Abdul Abulbul Amir.



    This son of the desert, in battle aroused,

    Could spit twenty men on his spear.

    A terrible creature, both sober and soused

    Was Abdul Abulbul Amir.



    When they needed a man to encourage the van,

    Or to harass the foe from the rear,

    Or to storm a redoubt, they had only to shout

    For Abdul Abulbul Amir.



    There are heroes aplenty and men known to fame

    In the troops that were led by the Czar;

    But the bravest of these was a man by the name

    Of Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.



    He could imitate Irving, play Euchre and pool

    And perform on the Spanish Guitar.

    In fact, quite the cream of the Muscovite team

    Was Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.



    The ladies all loved him, his rivals were few;

    He could drink them all under the bar.

    As gallant or tank, there was no one to rank

    With Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.



    One day this bold Russian had shouldered his gun

    And donned his most truculent sneer

    Downtown he did go, where he trod on the toe

    Of Abdul Abulbul Amir



    "Young man," quoth Bulbul, "has
    life grown so dull,


    That you're anxious to end your career?

    Vile infidel! Know, you have trod on the toe

    Of Abdul Abulbul Amir."



    "So take your last look at the sunshine and
    brook


    And send your regrets to the Czar;

    By this I imply you are going to die,

    Mr. Ivan Skavinsky Skivar."



    Quoth Ivan, "My friend, your remarks, in the
    end,


    Will avail you but little, I fear,

    For you ne'er will survive to repeat them alive,

    Mr. Abdul Abulbul Amir!"



    Then this bold mameluke drew his trusty chibouque

    With a cry of "Allah Akbar!"

    And with murderous intent, he ferociously went

    For Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.



    They parried and thrust and they side-stepped and
    cussed


    'Till their blood would have filled a great pot.

    The philologist blokes, who seldom crack jokes,

    Say that hash was first made on that spot.



    They fought all that night, 'neath the pale yellow
    moon;


    The din, it was heard from afar;

    And great multitudes came, so great was the fame

    of Abdul and Ivan Skivar.



    As Abdul's long knife was extracting the life -

    In fact, he was shouting "Huzzah!" - -

    He felt himself struck by that wily Kalmuck,

    Count Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.



    The sultan drove by in his red-breasted fly,

    Expecting the victor to cheer;

    But he only drew nigh to hear the last sigh

    Of Abdul Abulbul Amir.



    Czar Petrovich, too, in his spectacles blue

    Rode up in his new crested car.

    He arrived just in time to exchange a last line

    With Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.



    A loud-sounding splash from the Danube was heard

    Resounding o'er meadows afar;

    It came from the sack fitting close to the back

    Of Ivan Skavinsky Skovar.



    There's a tomb rises up where the blue Danube flows;

    Engraved there in characters clear;

    "Ah stranger, when passing, please pray for
    the soul


    Of Abdul Abulbul Amir."



    A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps,

    'Neath the light of the pale polar star;

    And the name that she murmurs as oft as she weeps

    Is Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.

    There was gimp called knoxy
    a right annoying little 5 hit
    He couldn't post a single thing
    Without copying and pasting it

    He likes to come on and say his piece
    When most of us are sleeping in our bed
    I'm going to fly to Borneo
    And kick the p r1ck in the head.

    "Kill Your Heroes"








    Well, I met an old man

    Dying on a train.

    No more destination,

    No more pain.

    Well, he said

    "One thing before I graduate

    Never let your fear decide your fate."



    I say ya kill your heroes and

    Fly, fly, baby don't cry.

    No need to worry cause

    Everybody will die.

    Every day we just

    Go, go, baby don't go.

    Don't you worry we

    Love you more than you know.

    (Good band, if you haven't heard of them, give them a listen)

    Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die. 
    Lord I wanna go to Heaven, but I don't wanna die. 
    Well, I long for the day when I'll have new birth, but I like livin' here on earth, 
    Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die.

Howdy, Stranger!
