Shinaniki Da 1929

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 May 2002

Somewhere out in Turkestan,
There lives a Turkey rhubarb man,
Whose name is Shinaniki Da.
There's no Turk in Turkestan
Just like this Turkey Rhubarb man
Whose name is Shinaniki Da.
Don't mistake, he make a lot of money,
Playing on his Turkestan guitar.

Oh! Shinaniki Da, he play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aah! aah!
While he play the guitar
He smoke a cigar
And laugha the ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ah!
Tuesday and We'n'sday,
Don't miss one day,
Thursday and Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Oh! Shinaniki Da,
He play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aha! aha! Ha!

Old Shinank's a man of rank,
with lots of rhino in the bank,
And plenty good Turkish Delight.
Old Shinank has got a tank,
As big as Marble Arch,
and swank in plenty,
Good Turkish alright.
Artful as a waggon load of monkeys,
Ev'ry time a Tourist comes in sight.

Oh! Shinaniki Da, he play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aah! aah!
While he play the guitar
He smoke a cigar
And laugha the ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ah!
Tuesday and We'n'sday,
Don't miss one day,
Thursday and Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Oh! Shinaniki Da,
He play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aha! aha! Ha!

Any things and many things,
From elephants to ruby rings,
he'll sell you, Shinaniki Da.
Ev'ryone who silver brings,
The place from whence your fortune springs,
He'll tell you, Shinaniki Da.
If you do, or if you don't believe him,
Old Shinank is nor particular.

Oh! Shinaniki Da, he play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aah! aah!
While he play the guitar
He smoke a cigar
And laugha the ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ah!
Tuesday and We'n'sday,
Don't miss one day,
Thursday and Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Oh! Shinaniki Da,
He play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aha! aha! Ha!

Oh! Shinaniki Da, he play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aah! aah!
While he play the guitar
He smoke a cigar
And laugha the ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ah!
Tuesday and We'n'sday,
Don't miss one day,
Thursday and Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Oh! Shinaniki Da,
He play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aha! aha! Ha!

Oh! Shinaniki Da, he play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aah! aah!
While he play the guitar
He smoke a cigar
And laugha the ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ah!
Tuesday and We'n'sday,
Don't miss one day,
Thursday and Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Oh! Shinaniki Da,
He play the guitar,
Outside a Bazaar, aha! aha! Ha!
