I learned this from Dave F******** a few years ago. I don't know what
the source tune is (indeed, I suspect it changes a bit each time we
sing it), but it's in 3/4. I've since seen it in some bawdy
collections on my shelves, sometimes lacking the Lydia interlude
(which seems to have slipped my mind too for the moment: what's there
is approximate)

The sexual life of the camel
is stranger than anyone thinks
when the camel starts to get passionate
he starts to make love to the sphinx
But the sphinx's celestial anatomy
is crammed with the sands of the Nile
Which accounts for the hump on the camel
and the sphinx's
inscrutable smile.

Oh....

when Lydia goes to make water
she shoots an incredible stream
she pisses for hours and hours
till you can't see the stars through the steam

Which has nothing to do with the camel
Or the . (?)
But is only a (brief intermission)
Till the chorus comes round once again:

Oh..
The sexual life
