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

o.k. each stroke did the work of ten men

That's right a lover McCoy this Fahrad

may not grace this grove again

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
