I composed this song that helped me through my years in Saudi. It is sung to the tune of "God Bless America".

God Bless Arabia,
For every dime
Of the oodles,
Of tax-free boodles
That I send to my bank all the time.
From the Gulf waves
To the Red Sea
O'er the dunes where camels roam,
God bless Arabia,
My tax-free home.

I like it... but what's a 'boodle?'

It might be from a US university, but there are others on the list I've never heard before either: gelt? pelf? These two don't even sound like English. (or perhaps oldEnglish?) lolly? like lollipop?

Oh well... doesn't matter...
