If I had a camel,
The kind with two big humps,
I’d ride him to the desert -
I would not mind the bumps!

We’d stop at an oasis
And dine on cactus plants,
Drink milk from desert goats,
Eat chocolate covered ants.

We’d sleep outside at night time
Under planets, stars and moons,
And make our bed and pillow
From the sandy desert dunes.

And when my trip was over,
I’d set that camel free
And find a friendly dolphin
To help me cross the sea.
