The Shah of Iran, he ran from terror
People’s revolution taking over th land
It wasn’t always like that
There’s a new superman — Ayatollah Khomeini
Put a spell on Iran — a dark eye genie
Oh Ayatollah man — he rules the way
He’s got a head the size of Hitler
And they call him Ayatollah
He’s just another Mussolini
And his name is Khomeini
I’m singing
ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini
ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini
ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini
ay-oh-oh tollah Khomeini
Aye-oh-aye
He does what he does in the name of religion
There are no answers, there are no questions
Makes his own rules, just another dictator
A game for fools of the gambling nature
Oh Ayatollah man — he rules the way
He’s got a head the size of Hitler
And they call him Ayatollah
He’s just another Mussolini
And his name is Khomeini
I’m singing
ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini
ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini
ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini
ay-oh-oh tollah Khomeini
Aye-oh-aye
Ayatollah, Ayatollah, Ayatollah, Khomeini!
kho-kho-kho-meini
He’s got a head the size of Hitler
And the call him Ayatollah
He’s just another Admiral Tojo
and this is how the song goes
singing ayah, Aya-tollah [etc…]
