Midnight At The Oasis Lyrics
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces,
Traces of romance in our heads.
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon
Shinin' 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 us out the way.
Come on, till the evenin' ends,
Till the evenin' 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 am by your side;
And you won't need no camel, no no,
When I take you for a ride.
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed;
Got shadows paintin' our faces,
And traces of romance in our heads.
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces,
Traces of romance in our heads.
Shinin' just for us;
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust.
He'll point us out the way.
Come on, till the evenin' ends,
Till the evenin' ends.
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer,
And you can be my sheik.
A nomad known to all,
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him,
Jump at his beck and call.
When I am by your side;
And you won't need no camel, no no,
When I take you for a ride.
Send your camel to bed;
Got shadows paintin' our faces,
And traces of romance in our heads.

In 1974, I bought a brand new 1974 Dodge Charger SE. While pulling out of the lot I turned on the AM radio and "Midnight at the Oasis" was playing. Now when I hear that song it always take me back to that moment in time.
