Verse 1

I'm just a middle-aged, middle-eastern camel herdin' man
I got a little, 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan
Things used to be real nice and they got out of hand when they moved in 
They call themselves the Taliban
(Ooooo yeah the taliban) (taliban baby)   
Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she's just like me, nah she can't stand
The Taliban 
(Ooo taliban baby)   

Chorus

You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do just fine out around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban
(Oh yeah the taliban) (baby)   

Verse 2

Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win
Said they would, stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said
"Now, you Sons-of-bitches you better not be doin any business with the taliban" 
(Taliban baby)  
So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
Until those big U.S. jets came flyin in one night
They dropped little bombs all over their holy land
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran
(The taliban)  

Chorus

You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do real fine out around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban  
(Oh yeah, taliban)
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple big ones to The Taliban
