Ferlin Husky - Eli the Camel lyrics

Now, there's an old brown camel on a cigarette pack He's a-waiting for his master but he ain't come back Been standin' there for years in the same old place With the same old look upon his old long face Eli, the camel, he never gets a drink I wonder what old Eli thinks Standing on the front of that cigarette pack Eli, the camel with the hump upon his back Now, I have often wondered what his master did When he went behind that big pyramid Some say he got a sunstroke and the old man died But, I think he's at the hotel on the other side He probably found a harem and he moved on in Forgot all about his faithful friend Standing on the front of that cigarette pack Eli, the camel with the hump upon his back Eli, the camel, he never gets a drink I wonder what old Eli thinks Standing on the front of that cigarette pack Eli, the camel with the hump upon his back He never gets no loving and he don't have any fun He keeps right on a-standing in the burning sun Standing all the time on that cigarette pack Eli, the camel with the hump upon his back If old Eli could talk, well, I'll bet my boots to you He could tell the world a thing or two He's been all around the world and back Riding on the front of that cigarette pack Eli, the camel, he never gets a drink I wonder what old Eli thinks Standing on the front of that cigarette pack Eli, the camel with the hump upon his back E-E-E-E-li
