Clam Caravan — текст песни (Spinal Tap)

I ride cross the desert on my camel
Over hills of sand.
(Hills of sand)
What`s that I see in the distance?
Only hills of sand.
(Hills of sand)
There is no oasis in sight;
I`ll have to ride through the night
If I`m to make Baghdad by light
Of dawn.
The sun`s not your friend in the desert
Like he is at home.
(Is at home)
The wind has a name in the desert
(Scirocco!)
But it`s barely known
(Barely known)
It`s only the hardiest bloom
That can blossom in darkest Khartoum;
So I will just stay in my room
Tonight.
The desert isn`t free with her secrets:
She`s a silent bird.
(Quiet bird)
I asked the Sphinx for the answer,
It said, Mum`s the word.
So I`ll catch the Zanzibar train
And sleep `til I`m wakened by rain
And I`m back in Olde Englande againe
Once more.
