If you want a salad that's light and tart
I'm telling you Jack, you'd better get smart
Look across the ocean to the Middle East
And get yourself this dish from the Lebanese
Put some cracked wheat, lemon, and olive oil
And lots of parsley in a great big bowl
Add some mint and onion and don't you know
Don't forget the tomato!

Tabouli - You'll feel so cooley
Tabouli - I ain't no fooley
Tabouli - You'll never be unruly
When you've got some tabouli

Ladies, you're out one night looking for romance
You've got your eye on that guy in those tight, tight pants
There's just one way to get him to dance
It's tabouli!
You've got that girl you want to impress
You'd like to get her out of that low-cut dress
There's just one way I must confess
It's tabouli!

Now I'm not saying it's an aphrodisiac
But you two will never get out of the sack
You'll be jammin' like you never did Jack
Oh tabouli!

Mishnoon, mishnoon - you juhush - gimme gimmie, gimmie some luban!

If you want a salad that's light and tart
I'm telling you Jack, you'd better get smart
Look across the ocean to the Middle East
And get yourself this dish from the Lebanese
Put some cracked wheat, lemon, and olive oil
And lots of parsley in a great big bowl
Add some mint and onion and don't you know
Don't forget the tomato!

Tabouli - You'll feel so cooley
Tabouli - I ain't no fooley
Tabouli - You'll never be unruly
When you've got some tabouli
Tabouli - You'll feel so cooley
Tabouli - Le bon ton roulet
Tabouli - Ah booley, booley, booley
Tabouli
