(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
