Shish Taouk

There’s a new thing from the Middle East

It tastes the most but it costs the least

You can get it from a little stall

Where they guarantee that it’ll be halal

They take some chicken and give it a juke

Talkin’ ‘bout that Shish Taouk

You can chew it if you got teeth

They cook some potatoes down underneath

Put on tomatoes and garlic sauce

Wrap it in pita and it’s real real boss

Food that’s fit for a pasha or duke

Talkin’ ‘bout that Shish Taouk

You may say “this is just a souvlaki”

You can’t be Syrian, you sound so wacky

It’s a blend of spices that are built to plase

and make you wish you were Lebanese

You’ll eat so many you want to puke

Now you’re addicted to Shish Taouk
