Midnight at the Oasis that is:

Written by: David Nichtern
Sung by: Maria Muldaur



Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

Heaven's holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
Kick up a little dust

Oh, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'til the evening ends
'Til the evening ends

You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer,
And you can be my sheik

I know your daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him
Jump at his beck and call

But you won't need no harem, honey
When I'm by your side
And you won't need no camel, oh no
When I take you for a ride

Oh, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'til the evening ends
'Til the evening ends

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

4. I LOVE that song.

Reminds me of all of the good things about 1974. Amos Garrett's sliding triple stops are exquisite.

after seeing Fred Willard and Catherine O'Hara sing it during their Blain sesquicentennial audition in "Waiting for Guffman". :)
