Hello Judith, thanks for posting. Sorry, didn't realise I'd said that, but have remedied now somewhat. All the best, Eric.
This is one of my favorite songs performed on RUclips! I am not kidding. I even have downloaded to my new Zune. A lot of great words to remember, great uke playing, and full of facial expression. Thank you.
Hola Angelillomolina, and muchas gracias, Eric.
Delightful and very silly, music should be fun, thanks for the chords I'm going to check out your other videos for more chords
Thanks! A few variations in the words, but a lot of fun both ways.
I forget how I first found your stuff (may have been via a friend), but I keep coming back to listen to another one.
Pure Gold!
Hi IsteadAl, thanks so much mate. I guess your name is Al. Any chance of any vids with you and your uke? Keep well, Eric.
utterly brilliant
Hi scottyandalice, oh wow, I've always dreamed of singing this in a bazaar in Cairo, really. Good luck with your uke band, let me know how you get on. Best, Eric.
Love your singing and playing!
I noticed that slave girls have become a lot cheaper - in Clinton Ford's version, they're 50 bob a lot! 🇦🇺
Thanks for the song - I wish the lyrics had been there...
(You said in the clip that the lyrics would be in the info along with the chords)
Hi ChrisGWRoberts, (is it Chris?) thanks so much for your lovely comment. I worked once with Clinton Ford. Cheers chum, take care, Eric.
thefelukuleles, hi Scotty and Alice. Great to hear about your uke band, I would love to be there. In case you don't know, I changed some of the lyrics. The original can be found at the link I give in the info section. Look forward to receiving the link to your entry in the competion. Would love to know more about yourselves, what you are doing in Cairo etc. Perhaps you could send me a message. All the best, Eric.
Cool video!
You sir are a star
Hi Judith, cheers, all the best, Eric.
Superb!!
Hi IRMoon, my pleasure mate. However there are loads of song tabs/lyrics/chords on the net, that's where I got it from. All the best, Eric.
You too Haisley, best, Eric
Hi Akiphix, cheers mate. Your neck cracking vid made me smile. Best, Eric.
Hi charisshr, yes, I did re-write some of the words. My version's a bit naughtier. Take care, Eric.
Hi lala70w, cheers, thanks very much, Eric.
Hi KlausDieSchrecken, well thank you, but of course your very nice little comment should go to the writers, but I will accept it on their behalf. Cheers, Eric.
@immy99218, hi, thanks so much. Would love to hear you version, there are so few of them. Take care, Eric.
Lyrics for:
The Old Bazaar in Cairo
(Chester, Morris, Ford)
Sand bags, wind bags, camels with a hump,
Fat girls, thin girls, some a little plump,
Slave girls sold here, fifty p a lump,
In the old bazaar in Cairo.
Brandy, shandy, beer without a froth,
Braces, laces, a candle for the moth.
Bet you'd look a smasher in an old loin cloth,
In the old bazaar in Cairo.
@harmless1231 hello, thank you so much, very kind. Take care, Eric.
Hi fat88andy, (is that Andy?) Cheers mate. All the best, Eric.
dramaismyworld, hi Jon, if you go to the bottom of the page and click on view all comments, they are there at the very beginning. However, you've just given me a better idea. I will copy to info, so by the time you read this they should be there as well. Best, Eric.
fincaman2, hi Kevin, lol, cheers mate. I changed the lyrics a bit in places. I don't post chords to most of the songs in my vids as a rule, simply because they can so easily be found on the net. Wow, can you play guitar or what? Never mastered the instrument that well. I play the same as I did when I was 16. Take care, Eric.
Hiya, D ont know why but i,ve only just found you, you will do for me our kid, magic.
@harmless1231 thank you for asking so nicely. If you double click on the text below the video all will be revealed. Eric.
tomtommurton, hi Tom, how kind, thanks so much. Checked out your vids, loved Mr Cellophane. Good luck, Eric.
Hi stuarttootell, lol, cheers mate. Hope you're well, and life is good. Best, Eric.
Hi PECesq, cheers mate, hope to see some vids of yourself sometime. Keep well, Eric.
Hi logophile, cheers mate! Hey folks, don't forget to check out this guy's vids, terrific! Eric.
We're working in Cairo and are currently putting together a ukulele band made up of fellow ex-pats. I think we'll need to add this to our list!

Hello HaisleySnook, thanks so much mate. Hey folks, check this great singer/songwriter out. Best, Eric.
Rice pud, very good, what's it all about,
Made it in a kettle and they couldn't get it out,
Everybody took a turn to suck it through the spout,
In the old bazaar in Cairo.
Come and buy, you can try, everything in style,
Genuine, bedouin carpet with a pile,
Funny little odds and ends floating down the Nile,
In the old bazaar in Cairo.
You can buy most anything,
Sheep's eyes, sand pies, a watch without a spring,
You can buy a pomegranate too,
An ounce of hash, a little bit of ficky ficky,
Yashmaks, packamacs, what a strange affair,
Dark girls, fair girls, some with ginger hair,
I could tell you how I know but I'll stop it there,
In the old bazaar in Cairo.
that is very sweet....just to let you know that I subscribed on your videos, and that I'm working on my new video about Lord Alfred Douglas...Hope it will good and easy to watch.
Hi shynyanga, ta ever so. Be lucky, Eric.
You can buy most any anything,
Fat cows, thin bulls, a little bit of string,
You can purchase anything you wish,
A clock, a dish and something for your Auntie Nellie,
Harem, scarem, what d'ya think of that,
Bare knees, striptease, dancing on the mat,
Umpa! Umpa! That's enough of that,
In the old bazaar in Cairo.
@crunterstamps, hi fellow ukey, thanks so much. Great uke vids btw. Check this guy out folks. Eric.
Lol
