I do not think that this is the camel song. It is a Israeli pioneering
song. "Heck-a-loots" is the pioneer or farmer and "avodah" is work (in
Hebrew). The pioneer belongs to his work and his work belongs to him. It
is usually sung as a round with one group singing the words and the others
the zoom golly golly part. But whatever it means, it is fun to sing!
