Now we're going Asian in Abu Dhabi
There's men from every nation in for the derby
Blow your whistle, bang on the gong
The price of oil goes up before long
We'll be getting rich and getting stoned
Fly together, we'll fly Concorde
We're really coming, all aboard
You wanna go first-class, you better save at last
Get to the Abu Dhabi
You want a mansion in Beverly Hills
You want a wedding with all the frills
You want daddy to pay, you'd better tell him today
Get to the Abu Dhabi
Don't tell me the chic's in that sheik
Trust your dealers, businessmen
Pass the lira, the lira and yen
The Abu Dhabi derby's here again
Fly together, we'll fly Concorde
We're really coming in, all aboard
You wanna go first-class, remember to save at last
Get to the Abu Dhabi
You want a mansion in Beverly Hills
You want a wedding with all the frills
You want daddy to pay, you'd better tell him today
Get to the Abu Dhabi
Fly together, we'll fly Concorde
We're really coming, all aboard
You wanna go first-class, you better save at last
Get to the Abu Dhabi
You want a mansion in Beverly Hills
You want a wedding with all the frills
You want daddy to pay, you'd better tell him today
Get to the Abu Dhabi

There are two versions of this song: the original version at 4:31 (shown here), and a remastered version at 5:23 that removes the lyrics and was included in re-issues of Frenzy. Apparently the song was changed between pressings because the lyrics were deemed rather racist, but I don't seriously believe it when I hear it.
In non-rhotic English accents, "Abu Dhabi" and "derby" use the same rhyme (/ˈdɑː.bi/).
A note that I have tried my best to write down the lyrics as correct as they seem. However, there are very few sources that don't derive from the remastered version, and the original song is mixed badly especially in the choruses. The Luton recording of this song was released on the Rootin Tootin Luton Tapes album in 2008, but only on the second disc, which was only issued to members of the Frenz of the Enz fanclub. I hope to hear the original recording sometime later, but for now, this is the best.
