A Ram-Sam-Sam

This is a Moroccan folk song. It goes well with drums and marching and endless repetition. You can also sing it as a round. Here are the words:

A Ram-Sam-Sam, A Ram-Sam-Sam,
Guli-Guli-Guli-Guli-Guli Ram-Sam-Sam,
A Ram-Sam-Sam, A Ram-Sam-Sam,
Guli-Guli-Guli-Guli-Guli Ram-Sam-Sam!

Arafi, Arafi
Guli-Guli-Guli-Guli-Guli Ram-Sam-Sam,
Arafi, Arafi
Guli-Guli-Guli-Guli-Guli Ram-Sam-Sam!

Here is the tune:

Do-Fa-Fa-Fa, Do-Fa-Fa-Fa
Mi-So-So-So-So La-Fa-Fa
Do-Fa-Fa-Fa, Do-Fa-Fa-Fa
Mi-So-So-So-So La-Fa-Fa

Do-Do-La, Do-Do-La,
La-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti Do-La-La
Do-Do-La, Do-Do-La,
La-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti Do-La-La

If that doesn't make any sense, call me and I'll sing it to you! Use this during C for Camel week or any time, for a few thousand trips around the coffee table.
