When the cabin port holes are dark and green	A
Because of the seas outside	B
When the ship'goes wop with a wiggle between	A
And the steward falls into the soup tureen	A
And the trunks begin to slide	B
When Nursey lies on the floor in a heap	C
And Mummy tells you to let her sleep	C
And you are n't waked or washed or dressed	D
Why then you will know if you have n't guessed	D
You're Fifty North and Forty West	D

If we haven't enough to do oo oo	I
We get the hump	F
Cameelious hump	F
The hump that is black and blue	G

And I know there is one for you	G
When we get the hump	F
Cameelious hump	F
The hump that is black and blue	G

Or frowst with a book by the fire	P
But to take a large hoe and a shovel also	Q
And dig till you gently perspire	R
	-
And then you will find that the sun and the wind	S
And the Djinn of the Garden too	G
Have lifted the hump	F
The horrible hump	F
The hump that is black and blue	G
	-
I get it as well as you oo oo	I
If I haven't enough to do oo oo	I
We all get hump	F
Cameelious hump	F
Kiddies and grown ups too	G
How the Camel Got His Hump	F

I am the Most Wise Baviaan saying in most wise tones	T
Let us melt into the landscape just us two by our lones	T
People have come in a carriage calling But Mummy is there	U
Yes I can go if you take me Nurse says she don't care	U
Let's go up to the pig styes and sit on the farmyard rails	V
Let's say things to the bunnies and watch 'em skitter their tails	V
Let's oh anything daddy so long as it's you and me	N
And going truly exploring and not being in till tea	N
Here's your boots I've brought 'em and here's your cap and stick	W
And here's your pipe and tobacco Oh come along out of it quick	W
How the Leopard Got His Spots	X

But after they have worked for me	N
I give them all a rest	D
