Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DDAAB EFGH IBAAB JKLM NBAAB DDAAB| The Camel's hump is an ugly lump | A |
| Which well you may see at the Zoo | B |
| But uglier yet is the hump we get | C |
| From having too little to do | B |
| - | |
| Kiddies and grown ups too oo oo | D |
| If we haven't enough to do oo oo | D |
| We get the hump | A |
| Cameelious hump | A |
| The hump that is black and blue | B |
| - | |
| We climb out of bed with a frouzly head | E |
| And a snarly yarly voice | F |
| We shiver and scowl and we grunt and we growl | G |
| At our bath and our boots and our toys | H |
| - | |
| And there ought to be a corner for me | I |
| And I know there is one for you | B |
| When we get the hump | A |
| Cameelious hump | A |
| The hump that is black and blue | B |
| - | |
| The cure for this ill is not to sit still | J |
| Or frowst with a book by the fire | K |
| But to take a large hoe and a shovel also | L |
| And dig till you gently perspire | M |
| - | |
| And then you will find that the sun and the wind | N |
| And the Djinn of the Garden too | B |
| Have lifted the hump | A |
| The horrible hump | A |
| The hump that is black and blue | B |
| - | |
| I get it as well as you oo oo | D |
| If I haven't enough to do oo oo | D |
| We all get hump | A |
| Cameelious hump | A |
| Kiddies and grown ups too | B |
