Midnight at the Oasis (From "Lost in Translation") - 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

And kick up a little dust

Come on, 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, prancer

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, no no

When I take you for a ride

Come on, 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

Got shadows painting our faces

And traces of romance in our heads

Oh come on, oh come on

Woo hoo hoo, yeah, oh yeah
