The Old Bazaar In Cairo
Composer(s): Charlie Chester - K. Morris - Clinton Ford
Performer(s): Clinton Ford



Sand bags, wind bags, camels with a hump
Fat girls, thin girls, some a little plump
Slave girls sold here, fifty bob a lump
In the old bazaar in Cairo

Brandy, shandy, beer without a froth
Braces, laces, a candle for the moth
Bet you'd look a smasher in an old loin cloth
In the old bazaar in Cairo

You can buy most anything
Thin bulls, fat cows, a little bit of string
You can purchase anything you wish
A clock, a dish and something for your Auntie Nellie

Harem, scarem, what d'ya think of that
Bare knees, striptease, dancing on the mat
Umpa! Umpa! That's enough of that
In the old bazaar in Cairo

Rice pud, very good, what's it all about
Made it in a kettle and they couldn't get it out
Everybody took a turn to suck it through the spout
In the old bazaar in Cairo

Mamadan, Ramadan, everything in style
Genuine, beduine carpet with a pile
Funny little odds and ends floating down the Nile
From the old bazaar in Cairo

You can buy most anything
Sheeps eyes, sand pies, a watch without a spring
You can buy a pomegranate too
A water-bag, a little bit of hokey pokey

Yashmaks, pontefracts, what a strange affair
Dark girls, fair girls, some with ginger hair
The rest of it is funny but they censor it out there
In the old bazaar in Cairo
