What Is She Worth?


100 Camels!!

Now Jeannie and Kathy went on holiday,
Tunisia was the place to be!
Oh lordy, please have mercy!
They are raving mad you see!
While having a drink one day,
Faouzi came over to say hello!
And promptly asked Kathy, just like that;
If he could buy Jeannie a drink! Oh no!!!

Kathy asked him how much,
‘Well, I guess 100 camels!' said he!
That's when Jeannie fell off the chair!
She was ever so shocked you see!
Kathy of course, agreed,
And the fate of Jeannie was placed;
Into the arms of Faouzi!
She was to adorn his arm with grace!

Now Jeannie was flabbergasted!
And said when others go on holiday,
They all bring back a souvenir!
But look what she brought home that day!
Faouzi!  She brought home Faouzi!
And what a little treasure he is!
I think I can safely say this day!
Those 100 camels did the biz!

…But…

He's only paid Kathy 2 camels to date,
And when I asked Faouzi what she was worth,
98 camels he said with laughter,
Now don't ya just love his mirth!
And so there you have this fairy tale,
But how it ends, no-one can know!
Because Faouzi has to return to Tunisia!
But none of us want him to go!!!
Together now for a year, oh yes,
A year of love and devotion,
A depth of feeling for each other,
As deep as the deepest ocean!

Because this wonderful love story I tell,
Will soon end up in tears,
When these two love birds have to part,
It's a nightmare everyone fears!
They love each other, yes they do!
And want to stay together…
Marry and settle down one day…
And live in bliss forever, and ever…

But they can't be together you see,
Because it has been firmly denied,
And we are all broken up for Jeannie and Faouzi,
And oh, but the tears we have cried.
A unison made in Heaven…
Oh woe is we, who are broken-hearted,
For two loving people that cant be together,
But more - are soon to be parted.

Why do they pay the price of being parted?
For loving each other so true!
And why the broken-hearted people;
Who love them, and don't know what to do!
A unison that can't be broken!
A unison good and true!
A unison deep and loving!
Oh the tears shed, oh what can we do!

…Except…

Ride the storm, and stay close to them,
And support them while they are apart,
In the hope that they can be together,
One day, one love, one heart!
