Unreleased forbidden love song found on a cassette tape from 1987 about one man's courting a girl in islamic hijab. With a mixture of bad Turkish and Brooklyn English the singer tries in vain (perhaps?) to win over his holy muse.

lyrics

When I first met you, you were standing there with that scarf it was covering all your hair. And we got to talking I realized you were cool now I just want to take a walk with you to school.

Hijabi Girl, won't you say something?
Hijabi Girl, why won't you do nothing?

Can I walk with you, please don't think I'm rude. I like your modest girl, I like your attitude. With you anime eyes, rainbow shoelace ties. Now I just want a wholesome good time.

Hijabi Girl, not a burqa girl, like beautiful bird you co rocked my world. You're not material, you're ethereal. Hot like hibachi, won't you be my habibi,.

Ya got me cuz you're righteous might just feel the call of my devotion like the crescent of the moon reflecting the ocean.

Hijabi Girl, won't you say something?
Hijabi Girl, why won't you do nothing?

(Let's Rock, Let's Rock, Hijabi Rock with you)

[Turkish poem]

When I first saw you, you took my breath away. I'm half the man I could be, at least what I try to say.

(Hijabi Rock x2) We don't have to tell your father.
