Procol Harum - A Christmas Camel lyrics

15

(brooker / reid)

5

22

My amazon six-triggered bride

26

Now searching for a place to hide

26

Still sees the truth quite easily

24

But shrouds all else in mystery

27

While madmen in top hats and tails

28

Impale themselves on six-inch nails

1e

And some arabian also-ran

20

Impersonates a watering can

5

27

Some santa claus-like face of note

23

Entreats my ears to set afloat

23

My feeble sick and weary brain

21

And i am overcome with shame

20

And hide inside my overcoat

21

And hurriedly begin to quote

29

While some arabian sheikh most grand

21

Impersonates a hot-dog stand

5

24

The red cross ambulance outside

23

Can only mean that i must hide

24

'til dusk and finally the night

24

When i will make a hasty flight

20

Across the sea and far away

23

To where the weary exiles stay

1e

And some arabian oil-well

1f

Impersonates a padded cell
