Hello! I'm Lyrkit!

I tried many ways to memorize English words and found the most effective one for me!

We already have all the words of the songs that we have heard throughout our lives in our memory. We simply did not pay attention to them, but we all already hear them!

I noticed that when you learn a new word from a song that you have already heard before, you already know the translation of this word forever and you will never forget it!

I want to share this method with you. So, the scheme is as follows.

We find songs that we have already heard.

We add all unfamiliar words from them.

We pass mini tests of memory games. done

Now that you know a lot of words, you will very quickly come to know the whole language!

I bet you'll be surprised how effective this method is!)

I Thought You Were An Arab

 

I Thought You Were An Arab

(album: The Paxton Report - 1980)


I thought you just got off of the plane
Desert sand still in your shoes
And the sand was probably Virginia Beach
And you were from Newport News
I thought you were an Arab
I saw the desert in your eyes
I thought of asking for a job in Abu Dhabi
'Til you sprang a big surprise
You handed me the money
That's what a real Arab does
So I thought you were an Arab
And all the time you were the fuzz
I thought you were an Arab
Desert Caliph or a sheik
I thought I'd be your friend in Congress
You'd be grateful, what a terrible mistake
You handed me the money
And that was all I saw
So I thought you were an Arab
And all the time you were the law
Abdul was kinda obvious
Now that I kinda think it through
The way you spoke American without an accent
Sure reflected well on you
When you handed me the briefcase filled of cash
I accepted with a wink
You can catch it on the evening news you rat
Now I'm headed for the clink
I thought you were an Arab
When you were really apple pie
You had a little shopping list of Congressman
And prominent upon the list was I
I smiled for the camera
I couldn't see it from my seat
So I thought you were an Arab
And all the time you were the heat
You were Lawrence of the FBI
You really played it to the hilt
There'll be no mercy back in Jersey
When you tell 'em how the fatal milk was spilt
I thought you were Kings of the fabled East
All you really were was bums
I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar
Now my hand is full of crumbs
I thought you were an Arab
I saw the desert in your eyes
I thought of asking for a job in Abu Dhabi
'Til you sprang a big surprise
You handed me the money
That's what a real Arab does
So I thought you were an Arab
And all the time you were the fuzz
I thought you were an Arab
And all the time you were the fuzz

Did you add all the unfamiliar words from this song?
