| Ramadan song by Iranian comedian Tissa Hami |
(to the tune of Adam Sandler's "Hanukah Song")
Lyrics by Tissa Hami
Put your turban on, here comes Ramadan
So much fun-adan to celebrate Ramadan
Ramadan is a tradition everlasting
Instead of one day of presents, we have 30 days of fasting
When you feel like the only kid in town without a menorah or tree
Here's a list of people who are Muslim just like you and me
Mohammad Ali prays toward Mecca
So does Aladdin, and my sister's best friend Becca
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar gives praise to Allah
So does much of Africa but not Nelson Mandela
When you're down on your knees, tired of praying on the floor
Remember you were once joined by Tupac Shakur
Who needs the Dreidel Song or Winter Wonderland?
When you can sing along with the American Taliban (he converted)
Put your turban on, it's time for Ramadan
Jerry Lewis has a telethon, it's time to celebrate Ramadan
Barack Obama, not a Muslim
If he converted, it would really, really puzzle 'em
Some people think that Muslims are heathens
But go on, admit it, you love Cat Stevens
Mike Tyson is Muslim, so's Ahmad Rashad
Put them together and you're ready for jihad
When you can't have a drink at the local beer hall
Just think it was a Muslim who discovered alcohol
So find something to vomit on, it's time to celebrate Ramadan
Hope I don't get sent to the Pentagon, on this lovely lovely Ramadan
I'm glad they caught Saddam-adan, but where's Osama bin Lade-dan?
If you really really wanna-dan, Have a happy happy happy happy Ramadan!
