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
