Riding through the desert on a hot, hot day
 * Word play

Travelling, travelling till I find the place to stay

Then I'll pitch my tent and I settle down to rest

With my camel and my goats the travelling life is best.

Travelling, travelling till I find the place to stay

Then I'll pitch my tent and I settle down to rest

 * Body move #01

I'm feeling thirsty and my camel needs a stretch

Stop by an oasis for a rest and a drink

The life of a nomad is wonderful, I think.

I heard the stars of the desert are a beautiful sight
 * Puzzles and patterns

They're such a delight in the cold of the night

But the stars in the desert only come out at night

And not in the heat of the day.

I heard the stars of the desert are a beautiful sight

But the stars in the desert only come out at night

And not in the heat of the day.

I'm off to Alaska to ski through ice and snow
 * Shapes in space

Over frozen waters and ice cliffs I go

All around the glaciers, clear blue sky and chilly air

Cliffs of glistening snow, penguins and polar bears.
