I Am a Camel

I might look like a little caterpillar
I might look like a little caterpillar
I might look like a little caterpillar
I might look like a little caterpillar
I might seem like a tiny caterpillar on a leaf
Nothing but a drop of dew and me

Am I a little caterpillar?
I might look like a little caterpillar
I might look like a little caterpillar
I might look like a little caterpillar

I might seem like a tiny caterpillar on a leaf
But that's your belief

I am a camel!
I am a camel!
I am a camel! I am a camel! I am a camel!
I am a camel! I am a camel, and I've got lots of friends!

I am a camel (She is a camel)
I am a camel (She is a camel)
I am a camel (She is a camel)
I'm a big, big camel (Oh what a camel)

(La, la, la-la-la, la, la-la)
(La, la, la-la-la, la, la-la)
(La, la, la-la-la, la, la-la)
(La, la, la-la-la, la, la-la)

Well a camel, which is what I am
Is tall enough to ride a man
Yes it's easy to climb up a tree
For a camel, for example me

Well a camel, which is what I am
(I am a dromedarian strong furry lumpy mammal)
Is tall enough to ride a man
(A man can't step on me)
Yes it's easy to climb up a tree
('Tremendous' and 'fleet' are my bywords)
For a camel like me
(And a camel eats birds)

Camels live in the desert
That's a place that's yellow and empty
And in fact, you can see it from where we are right now
That's right - I'm talking about the moon

I am a camel
I can live for a thousand years on a single drop of water

I am a camel
People show me respect, and if they don't, I can spit in their face

I am a camel
I sing to the night, a sweet baritone roar, rolling across the dunes

I am a camel
And one day soon, I will become the biggest, hairiest butterfly you've ever seen

I am a camel
I really am a camel
Why doesn't anyone believe me?
