Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon
Shinin' just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust
Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evenin' ends
Till the evenin' ends
You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik
------ guitar solo ------
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, no no When I take you for a ride,
Come on,
Cactus is our friend He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evenin' ends Till the evenin' ends
Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed
Got shadows paintin' our faces And traces of romance in our heads.
