chorus:
Oh the oriental very very special
If you ever get some
You want another one and another one
The oriental very very gentle
I got one for a cousin can you send me a dozen?
Oh the oriental will drive you mental

And then another one and another one
Oh the oriental can you get them on a rental?
Don't send me a russian ain't no discussion
Got to be the oriental
