You've heard of Ali-Baba, forty thieves, had he
Out for what we all want
Lots of L.S.D.
He also had a camel stole it from a zoo
How he loved the camel
And the camel loved him, too
N.C
Ali-Baba's camel
Loved Ali-Baba so
No matter where he went to
The camel had to go
Some say that he's in Heaven
But this, I know, is true
Wherever you think Ali's gone
His camel's gone there, too
'''' '''' '''' '''' '''' ''''
Crossing the Equator, ooooh, 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
N.C
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."
'''' '''' '''' ''''
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!
N.C
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
Ooooh, gather 'round the campfire sing a roundelay
But don't sing out of tune, though
('cause eggs are cheap today!)
Sing of Ali-Baba, sing about his men
Sing about his camel
And then sing it all, again
N.C
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's gone
His camel's gone to
