[Intro]
Lucky traveler, passport in hand, sun on my face
I booked a Nile cruise, rolling along the grace
Then a tiny cough, a world-wide scare
Now I’m the only tourist with a mask and a stare
[Verse 1]
We drift past pyramids, camels wave hello
Dust in the air, I sneeze, they whisper, “oh no”
The captain jokes, “sir, the Nile calls your name,”
But I’m quarantined in a cabin, playing board games in shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Egypt in the distance, tickets in a pile
I’m sipping mint tea, counting days with a smile
[Chorus]
Stuck on the Nile, in a bubble of air, haha
Floating in limbo, with a luggage full of flair, ha ha
From Cairo to Sahara, I’m missing the sunlit mile
Quarantine twists my tale, but I’ll laugh all the while
[Verse 2]
They airlift me to the Sahara’s wide embrace
Bedouins share dates, I’m wearing a fancy mask in place
Wi‑fi’s a rumor, the stars are my guide
I’m ziplined to sanity, on a camel of pride
[Pre-Chorus]
Midnight in the dunes, the moon pays its dues
I text the kids janitor’s jokes I refuse to lose
[Chorus]
Stuck on the Nile, in a bubble of air, haha
Floating in limbo, with a luggage full of flair, ha ha
From Cairo to Sahara, I’m missing the sunlit mile
Quarantine twists my tale, but I’ll laugh all the while
[Bridge]
If the radio coughs, we’ll pretend it’s a horn
If the coffee is cold, we’ll call it a desert adorn
If I dodge the fever, I’ll dodge with a grin
Adventure’s a map that’s folding within
[Chorus]
Stuck on the Nile, in a bubble of air, haha
Floating in limbo, with a luggage full of flair, ha ha
From Cairo to Sahara, I’m missing the sunlit mile
Quarantine twists my tale, but I’ll laugh all the while
[Outro]
One day the doors will open, passports will sing
I’ll tell the world how I rode out the ding-ding of spring
Till then I’m the Nile’s funny mystery, traveler on file
Stuck, yet smiling, in my quarantine style
