Down the daraj, clippity clop,
down the 3unuq, drippity drop.
Ahh, alhamdulillah for midnight,
on demand, ice cold, tap water.

Hi there parents; hello
mother and father; jee
mammii ne pappaa; halaa
ummii wa abooya,
roohii wa hayaatii.

It's good to see you alive,
well enough, or sickly even,
still breathing and kicking.

No, I'm not hungry, but you
need anything? Sleep good,
God knows I need you.
