The Mysteries of the Nile
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Anna Moo
Anna Moo
Why does the camel have humps on his back?
Why does the cobra snake dance in the grass?
Why does a crocodile wear a big smile?
The mysteries of the Nile
Who built the pyramids that stand in the sand?
What makes a mirage look like water on land?
Does anyone know where this river began?
The mysteries of the Nile
Chorus
To the north lies desert and ancient Egyptian tombs
To the south wild jungles and Mountains of the Moon,
Does this river carry the secrets of the earth?
The origins of man's birth? OOOH, OOOH!
Hippos and elephants, lions and giraffes,
have come to her waters to drink and take baths,
How do they find their way without a path?
The mysteries of the Nile.
Kingdoms have fallen from floods on her lands
Yet villagers come back to plant there again
There's something that makes them return sink or swim
The mysteries of the Nile
Chorus
Why does the cobra snake dance in the grass?
Why does a crocodile wear a big smile?
The mysteries of the Nile
Who built the pyramids that stand in the sand?
What makes a mirage look like water on land?
Does anyone know where this river began?
The mysteries of the Nile
Chorus
To the north lies desert and ancient Egyptian tombs
To the south wild jungles and Mountains of the Moon,
Does this river carry the secrets of the earth?
The origins of man's birth? OOOH, OOOH!
Hippos and elephants, lions and giraffes,
have come to her waters to drink and take baths,
How do they find their way without a path?
The mysteries of the Nile.
Kingdoms have fallen from floods on her lands
Yet villagers come back to plant there again
There's something that makes them return sink or swim
The mysteries of the Nile
Chorus
