CH
I'd like for you to join me [yeah?]
When you come to old Cairo [where?]
You don't want to miss me [why??]
I'm the Cairo Marriott Crow.

I'm a two-tone crow [he's a two-tone crow]
I'm a cut above [a cut above]
No garbage for me and that is why
It's the Marriott I love!

V1
I'm easily fed [he's easily fed]
But carrion won't do [no garbage for you!]
Some Turkish bread [got a smart head!]
A beef bone or two [and a bit of ragout]
A lamb kebab [perhaps some crab?]
Perrier to drink [or the garden sink!]
I'll entertain you...
I'm a crow what thinks!!

CH
And here's where you will find me [where?]
When you come to old Cairo [there?]
I'm the talk of the garden tables!
I'm the Cairo Marriott Crow.

INSTR BRIDGE

V2
Forget those pyramids! [what?! why?]
I'm the better show [no!]
Old King Tut he's dead and gone [sorta...]
But I'm still on the go [better hop it...]
A crow's gotta do [carry on!]
What a crow's gotta do [true...]
So take a garden table
And I'll entertain you!

CH
So you know where to find me [of course!]
When you come to old Cairo [we'll go!]
I'll wait on your table too
I'm the Cairo Marriott Crow.

[Yes we know where to find you
When we come to Old Cairo
But please stay off our table
Oh Cairo Marriott Crow]
