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!
