Night Boat to Cairo Lyrics:

Original songwriter: Graham McPherson, Michael Barson, Lee Jay Thompson, Daniel Mark Woodgate, Mark William Bedford, Christopher John Foreman, Cathal Joseph Smyth Night boat to Cairo

It's just gone noon half past monsoon

On the banks of the river Nile

Here it comes the boat only half-afloat

Oarsman grins a toothless smile

Only just one more to this desolate shore

Last boat along the river Nile

Doesn't seem to care no more wind in his hair

As he reaches his last half mile

The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land

But the sound doesn't deafen his smile

Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand

Floats off down the river Nile floats off down the river Nile

All aboard night boat to Cairo

Night boat to Cairo

Artist Information

Madness are an English ska band from Camden Town, London, that formed in 1976. One of the most prominent bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s 2 Tone ska revival, they continue to perform with their most recognised line-up of seven members. Madness achieved most of their success in the early to mid 1980s. Both Madness and UB40 spent 214 weeks on the UK singles charts over the course of the decade, holding the record for most weeks spent by a group in the 1980s UK singles charts. However, Madness achieved this in a shorter time period (1980–1986).
