Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Camel songs - anyone know one?
Here's an old song that my Dad sings...

I've always had a fancy to ride upon a camel
to ride upon a camel like a sheik
I rode across Sahara on a brutethey called Cascara
and gosh I only stood it for a week

Click clack click there ain't no kick
riding on a camel in the desert
in that land of red hot sand
riding on a camel in the desert
I would never never go, all the way to Jerico
riding on a camel in the desert

We struck a nice oasis with buttercups and daisies
and a girl they called Omaisis there I found
this little Arab's daughter was selling pits of water
I drank so much the bill cost me a pound

Click clack click there ain't no kick
riding on a camel in the desert
in that land of red hot sand
riding on a camel in the desert
I would never never go, all the way to Jerico
riding on a camel in the desert
