Eli the Camel Ferlin Husky

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
