Текст песни Ali-Baba's Camel (The Bonzo Dog Band) с переводом

You’ve heard of Ali Baba

Forty thieves had he

Out for what we all want

Lots of LSD

He also had a camel

Stole it from a zoo

How he loved the camel

And the camel loved him too

(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba!)

Ali Baba’s camel loved Ali Baba so

No matter where he went to the camel had to go

Some say he’s in heaven, but this I know is true

Wherever you think Ali’s gone, his camel’s gone there too

Crossing the equator, ooh, how hot it was

Poor old Ali Baba cursed and swore because

He was so very thirsty, and everybody knows

It’s horrible to walk for miles with sand between your toes

(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba!)

Ali Baba’s camel turned 'round and licked his hand

He said, «Oh Ali Baba, I surely understand

We must find an oasis and get a drink somehow

But hark, I hear the temple bells, they’ll all be open now.»

(Bleah bleah. Glorious beer, fills you right up with it… aaahh)

They entered for the races and the desert sports

There goes Ali’s camel in his filthy cotton shorts

The starter cracked his pistol off the camels hared

Ali Baba’s camel wins by half a camel’s hair

(Hey, Ali Baba! Hey, Ali Baba! Your camel loves you! Your camel loves you!)

Ali Baba’s camel had run for miles and miles

His tail was pointing backwards, that’s how a camel smiles

But Ali and his camel they both were out of breath

They’d run so far, they’d loved so much

They laughed themselves to death

Oh, gather around the campfire, sing a roundelay

But don’t sing out of tune, now ('Cause eggs are cheap today!)

Sing of Ali Baba, sing about his men

Sing about his camel, then sing it all again

(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba)

Ali Baba’s camel loved Ali Baba so

No matter where he went to that camel had to go

Some say he’s in heaven, but this I know as well

Wherever you think Ali’s gone, his camel’s gone to…
