The Camel Walk 1916

Ev'rybody's raving
'bout these dances new,
Well, I've seen a few,
but none will do,
Listen just a minute
I'll explain to you,
One that's bound to cause talk.
I saw it out in Africa
upon the sand
of the Sahara grand,
done by the desert band,
The music so entrancing
set the caravan a dancing
and they called it the camel walk.

Sway from side to side,
in that dromedary stride,
feet a thumping
shoulders humping
you start to ramble,
just like a camel,
point your toes out wide,
as across the floor you glide,
it sure is full of pep,
that camel step, don't balk
but do the funny camel walk.
Some walk.

Sway from side to side,
in that dromedary stride,
feet a thumping
shoulders humping
you start to ramble,
just like a camel,
point your toes out wide,
as across the floor you glide,
it sure is full of pep,
that camel step, don't balk
but do the funny camel walk.
Some walk.

You don't have to take a drink
for days and days
for the good taste stays with you always
ev'ry time that raggy draggy music plays,
You must join in the fun.
It keeps your head a spinning 'round
just like a top, you'll never want to stop
until you have to drop,
It sure is some invention
so just give me your attention
and I'll show you how it is done.

Sway from side to side,
in that dromedary stride,
feet a thumping
shoulders humping
you start to ramble,
just like a camel,
point your toes out wide,
as across the floor you glide,
it sure is full of pep,
that camel step, don't balk
but do the funny camel walk.
Some walk.

Sway from side to side,
in that dromedary stride,
feet a thumping
shoulders humping
you start to ramble,
just like a camel,
point your toes out wide,
as across the floor you glide,
it sure is full of pep,
that camel step, don't balk
but do the funny camel walk.
Some walk.
