Song Lyrics for the Month of July

“Sally the Camel”

Sally the camel has five humps, Sally the camel has five humps, Sally the camel has five humps

So ride, Sally, ride

Boom, Boom, Boom

Sally the camel has four humps…three humps…two humps…one hump…

* “Boom” matches the number of “humps” Sally has *

Sally the camel has no humps, Sally the camel has no humps, Sally the camel no humps

Because Sally is a horse of course!
