Midnight At The Oasis 
Composer(s): David Nichtern
Originally performed by: Maria Muldaur



Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

Heaven's holding a half moon 
Shining just for us 
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon 
Kick up a little dust 

Oh, Cactus is our friend 
He'll point out the way 
Come on 'til the evening ends 
'Til the evening ends 

You don't have to answer 
There's no need to speak 
I'll be your belly dancer, [romancer] 
And you can be my sheik 

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, oh no 
When I take you for a ride 

Oh, Cactus is our friend 
He'll point out the way 
Come on 'til the evening ends 
'Til the evening ends 

Midnight at the oasis 
Send your camel to bed 
Shadows painting our faces 
Traces of romance in our heads
