Camel Train to Yamba Songtext
von John Williamson

Every Christmas holidays, my father drove a camel train
It was called a camel train, he wouldn′t stop for no-one

Oh, we wanna wee-wee
We want him to pull over
He wouldn't stop until we got to Yamba

"How much further now dad, how much more to go?"
"Just hang on kids, have a sleep, this road is rough and slow-ow"
Most of it was gravel

No matter how much we moaned, he kept on through the mountains
The old family car winding, grinding through the dust
We always got car sick, boo, stick it out the window
He wouldn′t stop until we got to Yamba

"How much longer now dad, how much more to go?"
"Just hang on kids, play a game, I spy with my little"
Most of it was gravel


"I spy with my little eye something beginning with S-H"
"Shh! Shut up!"

Nowadays, there's no chance of driving like a camel train
Roadhouses jump out and pull you off the road

Oh, we wanna wee-wee
We want a smurf and ice-cream
It always takes us days to get to Yamba

"How much further now dad, how much more to go?"
"Just eat up your lollies, you kids have made us slow!"
No, I won't stop until we get to Yamba

Every Christmas holidays, my father drove a camel train
It was called a camel train, he wouldn′t stop for no-one

Oh, we wanna wee-wee
We want him to pull over
He wouldn′t stop until we got to Yamba
No, he wouldn't stop until we got to Yamba
