I have camels.  Lots of camels.  Gorgeous camels just for you.

When you hear their groovy names, you’ll flip right out, so dig a few.

Mary, Marty, Michael, Mona.  You’ll be proud to be their owna.

Mervin, Marvin, Melba, Millie.  Not a single one is silly.

Maxwell, Muncy, Mitchell, Morty.  Every one is under forty.

Milton, Melvin, Manny, Minnie.  Not a single one is skinny.

Myron, Myra, Mabel, Molly.  Every one is very jolly.

Menasha, Marsha, Mischa, Minna.  Every single one a winna.

Maynard, Morgan, Myrtle, Mo.  Matilda, Morris, Mario!

Mickey, Missie, Moose, and Martha.

And of course our very own Mortimer Macarthur!

Choose your own specific camels.

Each one, they’re terrific mammals.

Mary, Marty, Michael, Mona, Mervin, Marvin, Melba, Millie.

Maxwell, Muncy, Mitchell, Morty, Milton, Melvin, Manny, Minnie.

Myron, Myra, Mabel, Molly, Menasha, Marsha, Mischa, Minna.

Maynard, Morgan, Myrtle, Mo, Matilda, Morris, Mario!

Mickey, Missie, Moose, and Martha,

And of course our own Mortimer Macarthur!
