    everytime I see that lyric I think to myself....if it did snow...they'd be in a hell of a lot more **** than they are already....

    why on earth would a bunch of musicians wish for them to have snow?

    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.
    Do-ba-dee-doo

    Well beauty is subjective...and well consider the source who's singing it.
    Also, in the 70's he was sexy.

    "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?

    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.

    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.

    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?"
