(Music by Frank Paparelli & John "Dizzy" Gillespie; Lyrics by Jon Hendricks)
|
Livin' in the middle 'n relaxin' while y' loosen only a little
|
Means y'gotta figure out a way y'oughtta' go
|
'N steady movin' on ahead're anywhere y'kharma led'n
|
With a fascinatin' desert f'y'bed
|
|
How very inviting!
|
Such a lush, poetic sight full o'lots o'lovely desert
|
And a rare, exotic mystery at night
|
How y'gonna beat it f'r a magic delight
|
|
Thrill to the chant of - the Muezzin
|
Callin' all t'pray aroun' the closin' o'the day
|
Becomes a regular occurrence
|
Git offa' the camel's back
|
Put you a tent up, lay you a mat down
|
Ready t'dream o'what'cha lack
|
Meanwhile, y'quietly sleepin' soun'ly
|
