Christmas In Capetown Lyrics - Randy Newman

Every night 

In Jungletown 

All the boogies in the street 

Radios turned up very loud 

Playin' Dancing Queen 

They love our music 

This English girl from the North somewhere 

Is stayin' with me at my place 

Drinkin' up all my beer 

Talkin' about the poor niggers all the time 

It's a real disgrace, she says 

I tell her, Darling, don't talk about things 

you don't understand 

I tell her, Darling, don't talk about something 

you don't know anything about 

I tell her, Darling, if you don't like it here 

go back to your own miserable country

It's Christmas in Cape Town but it ain't the same 

Oh, the boys on the beach are still blowin' 

And the summer wind still kicks the clouds around 

You know my little brother, babe 

Well, he works out at the diamond mine 

I drove him out there at five this mornin' 

The niggers were waitin' in a big long line 

You know those big old lunch pails they carry, man 

With a picture of Star Wars painted on the side 

They were starin' at us real hard with 

their big ugly yellow eyes 

You could feel it 

You could feel it

It's Christmas in Cape Town but it ain't the same 

The stores are open all the time 

And little kids on skateboards cut in and out of the crowd 

And the Christmas lights still shine 

Myself, I don't like to drink the way 

I used to, man, you know 

It don't seem to get me high 

And the beer don't taste the way it 

ought to taste somehow 

And I don't know why 

Don't talk to me about the planes 

Man, I've heard it 

Just take a look around 

What are we gonna do, blow up 

the whole damn country? 

It's Christmas in Cape Town 

It's Christmas in Cape Town 

It's Christmas in Cape Town
