"Islamic Art Song"
Written by Jamie Danis and Evan Han

In the town where Muhammad was born
Lived a man who created a religion
And he told us of Allah’s power
In the land of Islamic Art

So we sailed up to the Dome of the Rock
Till we found a noble enclosure
And we lived beneath the dome
In our aniconic mosque

We all pray five times a day to Mecca
five times a day to Mecca, five times a day to Mecca
We all pray five times a day to Mecca
five times a day to Mecca, five times a day to Mecca

And our Sinan the Great
He created the mosque of Selim
And it has huge minarets

We all pray five times a day to Mecca
five times a day to mecca, five times a day to Mecca
We all pray five times a day to Mecca
five times a day to Mecca, five times a day to Mecca

[Whoa don’t forget the other four pillars, Ms. Park
Alright here I go, don’t stop me I have a spark
Muhammad is the prophet of the one God called Allah
So when he stops by make sure to holla’
The next pillar says to provide for the poor,
So give food and money when they come knocking on your door
You also have to fast during the month of Ramadan
Watch me keep goin’ I’m a phenomenon
Finally you have to make a Pilgrimage to Mecca called a hajj
but book rooms in advance ‘cuz there’s no room at a lodge
Don’t forget about calligraphy which is the highest form of art
Imma stop now while I still seem smart.]

This brings us to, the Great Mosque
Its hypostyle hall, has 36 piers
Its great dome, sits on squinches
There’s a mihrab (there’s a mihrab) in the qibla (in the qibla, ha, ha)

We all pray five times a day to Mecca
five times a day to Mecca, five times a day to Mecca
We all pray five times a day to Mecca
five times a day to Mecca, five times a day to Mecca
We all pray five times a day to Mecca
five times a day to Mecca, five times a day to Mecca
We all pray five times a day to Mecca
five times a day to Mecca, five times a day to Mecca
