Song language: English
Night Boat to Cairo |
| It’s just gone noon |
| Half past monsoon |
| On the banks of the river Nile |
| Here comes the boat |
| Only half-afloat |
| Oarsman grins a toothless smile |
| Only just one more |
| To this desolate shore |
| Last boat along the river Nile |
| Doesn’t seem to care |
| No more wind in his hair |
| As he reaches his last half mile |
| The oar snaps in his hand |
| Before he reaches dry land |
| But the sound doesn’t deafen his smile |
| Just pokes at wet sand |
| With an oar in his hand |
| Floats off down the river Nile |
| Floats off down the river Nile |
| (All aboard, night boat to Cairo!) |
| (Night boat to Cairo!) |
