Ship Of The Desert

Rolling back and forth behind this hump
On this four legged tan fur hide
Everytime she sways my stomach does jump
This is not an easy, fun ride

Oh, I'm sailing on this sea of sand
Not knowing where I'm going
On the back of a camel in a hot, dry land
There's no oars to do the rowing

This Bedouin garment is itching my skin
Or I've gotten fleas from this dromedary
Oh, I wish I had a big bottle of gin
And a place that's cool and airy

I see up ahead is a large cactus
With needles sticking out everywhere
I know I need a little more practice
And teaching, riding this desert Mare

Behold! I see land and it's green
I am saved. I am filled with glee
There is water that's clear and clean
If this is an oasis how sad I will be
