Текст песни Ali Baba's Camel

Gay

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 how the camel loved Ali Ba(r)Ba(r)!
Ali Baba's camel loved Ali Baba so,
No matter where he went to, that camel had to go.
Some say that he's in heaven, but this I know is true.
Wherever you think Ali has gone, his camel's gone there too.
(oh, buddy cam-ee)
Crossing the equator, oooo, 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... brrrrr!
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."
[wretching noises]
They entered for the races at the desert sports.
There goes Ali's camel in his filthy cotton shorts.
The starter cracked his pistol off the camel's head.
Ali Baba's camel wins by half a camel's hair.
Hey Ali Baba (repeat), your camel loves you (repeat)!
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 laughed so much,
They laughed themselves to death.
[mourning sounds]
Oh! Gather 'round the campfire! Sing a rondelet!
But don't sing out of tune, now. (???) Today!
Sing of Ali Baba. Sing about his men.
Sing about his camel, and 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 that he's in heaven, but this I know as well.
Wherever you think Ali has gone, his camel's gone to --
(hey, give us a tune there, jon! Yahoo!)
