All the stuff in the parenthesis are done by a backup singer who I swear to Christ croons the words like he's on stage at Vegas or something. It's incredible. Also, the song, which appears on his album Shock'n Y'all, was recorded live, so the section which starts with "I know where you're coming from brother!" should be considered an aside.

I'm just a middle-aged, middle-eastern camel herdin' man I got a little, 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan Things used to be real nice and they got out of hand when they moved in They call themselves the Taliban (ooooo yeah the taliban) (taliban baby)
Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear She loves the desert and the hot white sand But man she's just like me, nah she can't stand The Taliban (ooo taliban baby)
You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be Ride Camel Ride My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban (oh yeah the taliban) (baby)
I know where you comin from brother! This is a patriotic love song So y'all feel free to salute if you want, You got my permission.
Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win Said they would, stand and fight until the very bloody end Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said "Now, you sons-of-bitches you better not be doin any business with the taliban" (Taliban baby)
So we prayed to Allah with all of our might And then those big U.S. jets came flyin one night They dropped little bombs all over our holy land And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran (the taliban)
You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be Ride Camel Ride My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side We should do real fine down around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan We'll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban (oh yeah, taliban) we'll bid a fair adieu and flip a big boner to The Taliban (baby)
