Shirin And Fahrad
Well, way down in ancient Persia Yeah, a long, long time ago We have the story of Shirin and uh Fahrad And I thought you might want to know 'Cause Shirin, pretty Shirin, Had a real McCoy lover in her young Fahrad
Well, pretty Shirin had to live with the Shah But she went for a walk one day Well, there were thousands of workmen out diggin', oh But none dared to look her way Until she came to young Fahrad
Whose little heart had been set all aflame He called out, 'Shirin, I love you' And she felt loved when he called her name Oh, 'cause Shirin, pretty Shirin Had a real Mccoy lover in her young Fahrad Waa, oo, yeah, in her Fahrad
You see her heart had already been won, uh But she had to put her boy to the test She said, 'See those mountains, dig me a tunnel And I'll know you love Shirin the best' Oh yeah, 'cause Shirin, pretty Shirin Had a real Mccoy lover in her Fahrad Oh yeah, yeah, in her Fahrad
Well look, he didn't say 'Suppose she's kiddin'' A, and he didn't say, 'Suppose it rains' And he didn't say, 'A tunnel, you can't do that' He just started shovelin' and callin' her name Oh yeah, 'cause Shirin, oh Shirin Had a real Mccoy lover in her young Fahrad Oh yeah, yeah, in her Fahrad
Each stroke it worked a little miracle Okay, each stroke did the work of ten men That's right a lover McCoy this Fahrad May not grace this grove again Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh yeah, well Shirin, pretty Shirin Had a real Mccoy lover in her Fahrad Oh yeah, in her Fahrad
Yeah,Well now the Shah by this point They were startin' to get worried They were thinkin' how're we gonna keep Shirin The advisor just said, 'Tell Fahrad that his Shirin has died We won't be worried 'bout that boy again' Oh yeah, Shirin, oh Shirin Has a real Mccoy lover in her young Fahrad Oh yeah, yeah, in her Fahrad
Now Fahrad believed their words And he had no more to give Well, he had no way of knowing Where she was and he lost the will to live Oh yeah, Shirin, oh Shirin, Had a real Mccoy lover in her Fahrad
Well, when the animals saw Shirin discover a dead Fahrad Their little hearts were completely uptore They said 'Look we loved him too, Shirin We thought they didn't make 'em like your boy anymore' Oh yeah, Shirin, pretty Shirin Had a real Mccoy lover in her Fahrad, in her Fahrad
Well, when Shirin heard the little birds words She knew that they knew the score So she just laid down by her Fahrad's side And she died, not yearn (80 years) Anymore, oh yeah, because Shirin, pretty Shirin Had a real Mccoy lover in her young Fahrad
Yeah, Shirin, pretty Shirin Has a real McCoy lover in Fahrad
