Verse 1 Long, long ago our journey began,
Mile after mile over desert sand.
Hardly the life of luxury –
It’s given us the hump, and we’re not happy!

Chorus Grumpy camels carrying the kings,
Grumpy camels carrying the three kings.
Grumpy camels carrying the kings,
Grumpy camels carrying the kings.

Verse 2 Why all the bundles? Why all the sacks?
Why all the boxes upon our backs?
Don’t have a clue, we’re at a loss –
It’s given us the hump, and we’re really cross!

Chorus Grumpy camels carrying the kings,
Grumpy camels carrying the three kings.
Grumpy camels carrying the kings,
Grumpy camels carrying the kings.

Verse 3 Travelling westward, led by a star,
Night after night we’ve been pushed so far!
A long way from home and sleeping rough –
It’s given us the hump, and we’ve had enough!

Chorus Grumpy camels carrying the kings,
Grumpy camels carrying the three kings.
Grumpy camels carrying the kings,
Grumpy camels carrying the kings.
