Lyrics

Goat's head in the deli case
Oh sweet angel-angel-bearded face
Paper maché parade on at night
That's what you're doing with no sunlight
In the tropical, ooh the tropical
Tropical icy-land
Tropical, ooh the tropical
Tropical, icy icy
Black church on a cold tundra
Mountain-glacier-glacier-glacier-stream
Black stone beach and a black death bottle
Is all me and my baby'll need
In the tropical, ooh the tropical
Tropical icy-land
Tropical, ooh the tropical
Tropical, icy icy
Take intermission, oh at the movies
Let's freeze outside for one quick smoke
And take a Klondike bar from the pop machine
Hey it's ice cream, no, no not Coke
In the tropical, ooh the tropical
Tropical icy-land
Tropical, ooh the tropical
Tropical, icy icy
We'll meet in Kristiana next summer
Let's get out before we melt away
I've seen enough stray ponies and puffins
To get me through 'till the end of May
In the tropical, ooh the tropical
Tropical icy-land
Tropical, ooh the tropical
Tropical, icy icy
