Ali Baba's Camel |
You’ve heard of Ali Baba |
Forty thieves had he |
Out for what we all want |
Lots of LSD |
He also had a camel |
Stole it from a zoo |
How he loved the camel |
And the camel loved him too |
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba!) |
Ali Baba’s camel loved Ali Baba so |
No matter where he went to the camel had to go |
Some say he’s in heaven, but this I know is true |
Wherever you think Ali’s gone, his camel’s gone there too |
Crossing the equator, ooh, how hot it was |
Poor old Ali Baba cursed and swore because |
He was so very thirsty, and everybody knows |
It’s horrible to walk for miles with sand between your toes |
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba!) |
Ali Baba’s camel turned 'round and licked his hand |
He said, «Oh Ali Baba, I surely understand |
We must find an oasis and get a drink somehow |
But hark, I hear the temple bells, they’ll all be open now.» |
(Bleah bleah. Glorious beer, fills you right up with it… aaahh) |
They entered for the races and the desert sports |
There goes Ali’s camel in his filthy cotton shorts |
The starter cracked his pistol off the camels hared |
Ali Baba’s camel wins by half a camel’s hair |
(Hey, Ali Baba! Hey, Ali Baba! Your camel loves you! Your camel loves you!) |
Ali Baba’s camel had run for miles and miles |
His tail was pointing backwards, that’s how a camel smiles |
But Ali and his camel they both were out of breath |
They’d run so far, they’d loved so much |
They laughed themselves to death |
Oh, gather around the campfire, sing a roundelay |
But don’t sing out of tune, now ('Cause eggs are cheap today!) |
Sing of Ali Baba, sing about his men |
Sing about his camel, then sing it all again |
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba) |
Ali Baba’s camel loved Ali Baba so |
No matter where he went to that camel had to go |
Some say he’s in heaven, but this I know as well |
Wherever you think Ali’s gone, his camel’s gone to… |
