Every day I want to fly my kite,
Every day I want to fly my kite,
An' every day I want to get on my camel an' ride.

Every day I want to shake your hand, yea, yea, yea,
For in the world makin' me a better man,
An' every day I want to get on my camel an' ride
(On my camel ride, on my camel)
Oo Baby

And when the day is through,
Nothin' to do, sit around groovin' with you,
And I say it 'cause I love having you around,
And I say it 'cause I love having you around. Yea

Everyday I want to be your friend, (be your friend)
'Cause you have stuck with me through thick and thin
An' every day I want a smile in your lovely brown eyes,
(smile at your lovely brown eyes)
Oh yea

Every day I'm gonna give my share,
'Cause I know your gonna take me there, (hey, hey)
An' every day I want to get on my camel an' ride, Oo

...when she's messing around)
