Ahab the Arab.

"Hello, Mother.

Hello, Father." There's another one.

Well, he just had so many Ray Stevens, didn't he? The Streak was another one from memory.

Good Morning Tone, memorable songs, lovely songs.

Ahab the Arab.

Well, probably one of the first records I ever bought was Ahab the Arab, but before that.

You're the guy.

Yeah,

Lonnie Donegan, wasn't it? No, yes, I believe it was.

See, we're just reminiscing here.

I mentioned that song title in my song, Ahab the Arab.

You said what?
