He started speakin' in tongues While the girls were quite young Leaving heartbroken and beautiful the opera singer mother With a step to the phone and an aggravated moan Made a call to the cops to stop the stealing of her daughters, then she Went up the stairs, taking each the steps in pairs Says "Oh my God, baby girls, I am really scared!" But a call to the cops mae a stop to the plot And they fought him and they caught him with his tickets in his pockets Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel! Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel!

She heard a click and said, "Dad, this is your daughter" Then she heard a voice, foreign and familiar And she sang to the voice foreign and familiar And she poured her heart out, foreign and familiar And she found herself crying with a foreign father figure Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel! Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel!
