Lyrics!
Ah, the joys of having no life! I have decided to transcribe some lyrics! First up is the Camel's song, Blue.

Camel with the Wrinkled Knees:
(Singing)
When you can’t find a friend
And the road doesn’t seem to end
And you’re lonesome the whole day through
How can you be happy?
How can you be smilin’?
How can you be anythin’
But low-down, saggy and
Blue?
When there’s nothin’ to share
And you don’t have a dime to spare
And there’s no one to comfort you
How can you be smilin’?
How can you be singin’?
How can you be anythin’
But low-down, saggy and
Blue?
I look around and see the sweet life ever’where
I watch the cookie bushes shinin’ in the sun
The smell of sweet vanilla livin’
Blows in ever’ breath of air
Doesn’t anybody want me?
Doesn’t anybody care?
When you’re wrinkled and cold
And your fortune has all been told
And you’re nobody’s “I love you”
How can you be happy?
How can you be smilin’?
How can you be anythin’
But low-own, saggy and
Blue?
Sad, but true
How can you be happy?
How can you be singin’?
How can you be anythin’
But low-down, saggy
And rag-bag-baggy
And… blue?
Raggedy Andy: (Spoken) Gee, that’s terrible.
Camel with the Wrinkled Knees: (Spoken) Well, I used to be somebody’s favorite toy. Once in a while, a nice little kid named Sam found me in an old junk shop, and I lived with him in a real nice house, where he hid me under the pillow every night in a real nice room. My humps got kinda flattened out, but I didn’t mind, ‘cause I had somebody to love me. One day, Sam’s ma found me. She was a real purdy lady, but she was also kinda mean. When Sam wasn’t lookin’, she threw me away, and I’ve been on my own ever since, lookin’ to find some kind of place I could call home.
(Singing)
When you’re wrinkled and cold
And your fortune has all been told
And you’re nobody’s “I love you”
How can you be happy?
How can you be smilin’?
How can you be anythin’
But low-own, saggy and
Blue?
Sad, but true
How can you be happy?
How can you be singin’?
How can you be anythin’
But low-down, saggy
And rag-bag-baggy
And… blue?
