She was a comedian, he was a muslim
She had a nightclub show
He got on stage with her, thought they would just talk
But she looked at him and giggled
And what it all comes down to
Is a mulla being swept right off the ground

When Shabana lifted Krekar
It made all the headlines yeah

She thought it was funny, but he was in shock
The mulla felt insulted
Norwegians laughed at him, muslims made a ball
She got banned from the local mosque
And what it all comes down to
Is a comedian being sued by a mulla yeah

When Shabana lifted Krekar
She almost had to quit her job
And what it all comes down to
Is that she just shaked her head and sobbed

When Shabana lifted Krekar
It was meant as a friendly thing

She's over the whole thing, it was no big deal
The heck, he just got lifted
He said "you're gonna pay for this" but she said "Oh, please!"
She wouldn't apologize, no
And what it all comes down to
Is that no one's really on his side

When Shabana lifted Krekar
It made lifting a popular thing
And what it all comes down to, my friends
You shoud lift your loved ones every day

When Shabana lifted Krekar
She wrote a piece of history
