Song Description

Not just another children's song describing animals on the desert.

Lyrics

Out in the Desert

Out in the desert in the sweltering sun
You can get so hot that the rabbits won?t run
They just relax in the afternoon shade
And drink tall glasses of pink lemonade

And there?s a tortoise, a jolly old chap
Who never has tried to sleep on his back
Whenever he?s tired, he?ll say ?Oh, well?
And crawl back inside for a nap in his shell

Out on the desert where the sun always shines
And that old wind blows hot and dry
Where the tumbleweeds go rolling along
Beneath a painted desert sky

Lazy iguana, he sits on a rock
And sticks out his tongue at a circling hawk
He wears dark glasses with a ragged straw hat
And loves to play checkers with an old desert rat
