D5                G5 C5 A5  
Midnight at the o - a - sis --  
D5                G5 C5 Bb5 
Send your camel to bed 
D5                   G5 C5  
Shadows paintin' our fa -ces, 
F5    Bb5    E5     G5      A5 
Tra - ces of romance in our heads. 
 
 
D5                 G5  C5 A5 
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon 
D5              G5  C5 Bb5 
Shinin' just for us; 
D5                  G5 C5   F5   Bb5 
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon 
    E5       G5     A5 
And kick up a little dust. 
 
Refr?o 
C5  F5   G#5          G5 
Come on, Cactus is our friend; 
C5         F5         G#5    G5 
He'll point us out the way. 
C5  F5   G#5             G5 
Come on, till the evenin' ends, 
C5     Bb5      D5 
Till the evenin' ends. 


 D5               G5   C5  A5 
You don't have to an - swer -- 
D5                 G5  C5 Bb5 
There's no need to speak 
D5                 G5   C5  F5    Bb5 
I'll be your belly dan - cer, pran - cer, 
    E5    G5     A5 
And you can be my sheik. 
 
(Instrumental Interlude - 1 Verse & 1 Refrain) 
D5                    G5 C5  A5 
I know your Daddy's a sul -tan, 
  D5    G5     C5  Bb5 
A nomad known to all, 
     D5              G5  C5           F5   Bb5 
With fifty girls to attend him , they all send him , 
    E5      G5      A5 
Jump at his beck and call. 
 
 
    D5               G5     C5  A5 
But you won't need no harem , honey, 
    D5   G5     C5  Bb5 
When I am by your side; 
   D5                G5  C5  F5  Bb5 
And you won't need no cam - el, no  no, 
       E5      G5    A5 
When I take you for a ride. 
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 D5                G5 C5 A5 
Midnight at the o - a - sis --  
D5       G5       C5   Bb5 
Send your camel to bed; 
    D5                  G5  C5   
Got shadows paintin' our fa - ces, 
     F5   Bb5    E5    G5      A5 
And tra - ces of romance in our heads.
