Cut us some slack

.










Doo-buy, dubaay shares borders with Sharjah
Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Wajajah
Our shopping festival comes once a year
the town fills with visitors who look and leer.

We have KT to give us a clue
Emirates today to add some more hue
move on to 7 days for their rustic banter
but Gulf news is what we really are after.




The roads are fast, there is no doubt
watch out behind you, I see a lout
flashing and cussing, he wants to get through
hit your brakes and thats the end of you.

Jumeirah Janes are everywhere
doing their shopping, fixing their hair.
The pajeros and prados are out of fashion
now we have hummers to fill their passion.




Mirdif, Jumeirah, Karama or Deira
Buildings and villas are growing much nearer
a drive across town will take you an hour
and leave the taste in your mouth, bitter and sour.

The expats are staying, buying up homes
they fight for their rights, we hear their groans
They don't own the land, they don't seem to care
as long as their neighbours have savoir-faire.




Imports of food bring in plenty of revenue
allowing lots of alternative menu
It wouldn't be so bad, if they would cut us some slack
all we want is to bring Lurpak back.
