On the Road to Morocco

We're off on the road to Morocco
This camel is tough on the spine
Where they're goin', why we're goin', how can we be sure
I'll lay you eight to five that we'll meet Dorothy Lamour


Off on the road to Morocco
Hang on till the end of the line
I hear this country's where they do the dance of the seven veils
We'd tell you more but we would have the censor on our tails

We're off on the road to Morocco
Well look out, well clear the way, 'cause here we come
Stand by for a concussion
The men eat fire, sleep on nails and saw their wives in half
It seems to me there should be easier ways to get a laugh

We certainly do get around
Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound

-Bing Crosby

First swatches for the Woolen Rabbit shawl, tentatively entitled:

I can't wait to see Morocco! Thanks for the smile. The elderly woman who lived next door when I was kid always watched Bing movies. She taught me to crochet, and was beloved as a grandmother. Blue skies!
