Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] (Night boat to Cairo) [Verse] It's just gone noon, half past monsoon On the banks of the river Nile Here comes the boat only half-afloat Oarsman grins a toothless smile Only just one more to this desolate shore Last boat along the river Nile Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair As he reaches his last half mile The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land But the sound doesn't deafen his smile Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand [Refrain] Floats off down the river Nile Floats off down the river Nile [Chorus] All aboard Night boat to Cairo Night boat to Cairo [Instrumental Outro]
