Bubbles , I want you to work . ' And the Camel said ` Humph ! ' again ; but no sooner had he said it than he saw his back , that he was so proud of , puffing up and puffing up into a great big lolloping humph . ` Do you see that ? ' said the Djinn . ` That 's your very own humph that you 've brought upon your very own self by not working . To-day is Thursday , and you 've done no work since Monday , when the work began . Now you are going to work . ' ` How can I , ' said the Camel , ` with this humph on my back ? ' ` That 's made a-purpose , ' said the Djinn , ` all because you missed those three days . You will be able to work now for three days without eating , because you can live on your humph ; and do n't you ever say I never did anything for you . Come out of the Desert and go to the Three , and behave . Humph yourself ! ' And the Camel humphed himself , humph and all , and went away to join the Three . And from that day to this the Camel always wears a humph -LRB- we call it ` hump ' now , not to hurt his feelings -RRB- ; but he has never yet caught up with the three days that he missed at the beginning of the world , and he has never yet learned how to behave . THE Camel 's hump is an ugly lump Which well you may see at the Zoo ; But uglier yet is the hump we get From having too little to do . Kiddies and grown-ups too-oo-oo , If we have n't enough to do-oo-oo , We get the hump -- Cameelious hump -- The hump that is black and blue ! We climb out of bed with a frouzly head And a snarly-yarly voice . We shiver and scowl and we grunt and we growl At our bath and our boots and our toys ; And there ought to be a corner for me -LRB- And I know there is one for you -RRB- When we get the hump -- Cameelious hump -- The hump that is black and blue ! The cure for this ill is not to sit still , Or frowst with a book by the fire ; But to take a large hoe and a shovel also , And dig till you gently perspire ; And then you will find that the sun and the wind .
And the XXXXX of the Garden too , Have lifted the hump -- The horrible hump -- The hump that is black and blue !
