Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,
I’ve got a perfect puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-dee,
If you are wise you’ll listen to me.
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
Eating as much as an elephant eats.
What are you at getting terribly fat?
What do you think will come of that?
I don't like the look of it
Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da,
Given good manners you will go far.
You will live in happiness too,
Like the oompa loompa do-ba-dee-doo.

Well beauty is subjective...and well consider the source who's singing it."but we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger"
Ew?
Also, in the 70's he was sexy.0 -

"And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime."
No...really?
OMG people really? You are questioning this, of all the possible dumb lyrics out there? Have you ever heard of a metaphor or shall I explain it? In this instance snow is used as a metaphor for both "water" (which they need in Africa) and a romanticized notion of winter/Christmas.
There was (and still IS) a major drought/famine famine in Africa. They cant grow food. People are starving. There IS a world outside YOUR window
But say a prayer,
pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard,
but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window,
and it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?0 -
Womanizer woma-womanizer you're a womanizer OH womanizer OH you're a womanizer baby
You you you are, you you you are
Womanizer womanizer womanizer (womanizer)
really, Brit? You call that a chorus?0 -
I'm a lyricologist. I can rap about anything...
Shrink, shrink. Blinkity-blink.
Tried to make me think.
Wanna go to my sink. And vomit.
Clean it up wit' Comet.
Earth is my planet.
Traffic, traffic lookin' fo my chapstick,
feelin' kinda car sick,
there's a Ford Maverick.
See? I'm the shiznit.0 -

Gee, thanks for that! I'm obviously a heartless guttersnipe with zero sense of humanity, a warped sense of humor (that part's true) and couldn't understand a metaphor to save my life because I chose one line from a song I happened to be singing along to.
Merry Christmas to you too, dear.0 -
My brother knows Karl Marx
He met him eating mushrooms in the public park
He said: "What do you think of my manifesto?"
"I like your manifesto, put it to the testo"
Took me down to meet the anarchist party
Met a groovy guy, he was arty farty
Said: "I know a little Latin, a kissen an a kai
Said: "I dunno what it means", I said: "Neither do I"
Eat natural food baked twice daily
Fill your nostrils up with gravy
Don't drink tea and don't drink coffee
Cover your chin in Yorkshire toffee
Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper
Wait a minute:
"Where's me jumper? Where's me jumper? Where's me jumper?"0 -
It's a metaphor.. a really bad one..
