Sides face, grand square
I have a camel who I ride across the burning sand
He has three humps; black, white, and tan
He likes to roll through the caves like a ship lost at sea
That's why we call him Oh...sah...me (Osamay)
Circle left
His humps go up and down and all around
Allemande left, come and promenade down
Big feet, one-eyed, three humps you see
That's why they call him Osamay

Heads (sides) Square thru 4 hands, make a right hand star
Star left in the middle with the outside two
Dosado, look at her, square thru 4 hands
Face out, swing and promenade
Big feet, one-eyed, three humps you see
That's why they call him Osamay

Circle left
He's old and losing his hair
Even poor Osamay's humps are bare
Allemande, dosado your own
Allemande and weave the square
His humps are bald and not so tall
Swing and promenade the hall
Big feet, one-eyed, three humps you see
That's why they call him Osamay

4 ladies chain across that burning sand
Chain them back, go hand in hand
Circle left
His humps go up and down and all around
Allemande left, come and promenade down
Big feet, one-eyed, three humps you see
That's why they call him Osamay
