Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
[Verse 2]
Heaven's holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
Kick up a little dust
[Chorus]
Come on, cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evening ends
Till the evening ends
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Come on, cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evening ends
Till the evening ends
[Verse 6]
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows painting our faces
And traces of romance in our heads
[Outro]
Oh, come on
Oh, come on
Ooh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
