Bonzo Dog Band: Ali-Baba's Camel

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 camel loved Ali-Baba!)

Ali-Baba's camel loved Ali-Baba so
No matter where he went to the camel had to go
Some say 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, ooo, how hot is 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!)

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.
(Bleah bleah. Glorious beer, fills you right up with it... aaahh)

They entered for the races and the desert sports
There goes Ali's camel in his filthy cotton shorts
The starter cracked his pistol off the camels hared
Ali-Baba's camel wins by half a camel's hair
(Hey, Ali-Baba! Hey, Ali-Baba! Your camel loves you! Your camel loves you!)

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'd loved so much,
They laughed themselves to death

Oh, gather around the campfire, sing a roundelay,
But don't sing out of tune, now. ('Cause eggs are cheap today!)
Sing of Ali-Baba, sing about his men
Sing about his camel, 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 he's in heaven, but this I know as well
Wherever you think Ali's gone, his camel's gone to....
