There's an old brown camel on a cigarette pack He's a-waiting for his master but he ain't come back Been standin' there for years in the same old place With the same old look upon his old long face Eli the camel, he never gets a drink I wonder what old Eli thinks Standing on the front of that cigarette pack Eli the camel with the hump upon his back Now, I have often wondered what his master did When he went behind that big pyramid Some say he got a sunstroke and the old man died But, I think he's at the hotel on the other side He probably found a harem and he moved on in Forgot all about his faithful friend Standing on the front of that cigarette pack Eli the camel with the hump upon his back He's a-waiting for his master but he ain't come back Been standin' there for years in the same old place With the same old look upon his old long face Eli the camel, he never gets a drink I wonder what old Eli thinks Standing on the front of that cigarette pack Eli the camel with the hump upon his back Now, I have often wondered what his master did When he went behind that big pyramid Some say he got a sunstroke and the old man died But, I think he's at the hotel on the other side He probably found a harem and he moved on in Forgot all about his faithful friend Standing on the front of that cigarette pack Eli the camel with the hump upon his back I've always been fascinated with Camel cigarettes myself, as they're the last vestige of the 19th century Egyptian cigarette craze
