Midnight At The Oasis

MIDNIGHT AT THE OASIS Maria Muldaur (David Nichtern) 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
