Midnight
at the oasis |
|
Send
your camel to bed |
|
Shadows
painting our faces |
|
Traces
of romance in our heads |
| Heaven's
holding a half moon |
| Shining
just for us |
| Let's
slip off to a sand dune, real soon |
| Kick
up a little dust |
| Oh,
Cactus is our friend |
| He'll
point out the way |
| Come
on 'til the evening ends |
| 'Til
the evening ends |
| You
don't have to answer |
| There's
no need to speak |
| I'll
be your belly dancer, [romancer] |
| And
you can be my sheik |
| I
know your daddy's a sultan |
| A
nomad known to all |
| With
fifty girls to attend him, they all send him |
| Jump
at his beck and call |
| But
you won't need no harem, honey |
| When
I'm by your side |
| And
you won't need no camel, oh no |
| When
I take you for a ride |
| Oh,
Cactus is our friend |
| He'll
point out the way |
| Come
on 'til the evening ends |
| 'Til
the evening ends |
| Midnight
at the oasis |
| Send
your camel to bed |
| Shadows
painting our faces |
| Traces
of romance in our heads |
