Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Camel songs - anyone know one?
Not as good as Oonts but Kipling also wrote this . There must have been a tune in his mind. They must have had a lot of trouble with those camels.
COMMISSARIAT CAMELS
WE haven't a camelty tune of our own To help us to trollop along, But every neck is a hair trombone (Rtt-ta-ta-ta! is a hair trombone!) And this is our marching song: Can't! Don't! Shan't! Won't! Pass it along the line! Somebody's pack has slid from his back Ónly wish that it was mine! Somebody's load has tipped off in the road- Cheer for a halt and a row! Urr! Yarrh! Grr! Arrh! Somebody's catching it now!
