Oh, oh, oh
He stands in winter, he's striped and frozen
He is completely out of style
He got no hands; he got no feet
All mouth and teeth, but he don't smile
He's made out of wool, he's itchy to wear
He's got broad stripes and savoir-faire
He's out of place almost everywhere
Since 1883
He's a costume out of time
Both ridiculous and sublime
Seems innocuous, but I'm
Afraid he's scarin' me
He's the magical old-timey bathing suit
That lives in the Himalayas
They call him Klimpaloon (Klimpaloon)
If you're between Tibet and Nepal
And you're quiet, you can hear the call
Of Klimpaloon: (Klimpaloon)
Klimpaloon (feat. Candace): Nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang!
Love Händel: He stands in winter!
