Christmas in Singapore

Frosty the Snowman is at home in Singapore,

Where the Christmas lights

Make a festive sight

In the ritzy downtown core.

 

Frosty the Snowman’s in a shopper’s paradise –

If you’ve lots of dough

You might like to go

Where they don’t have snow or ice.

 

See presents stacked on endless racks

‘Til you have aching feet;

But your car gets towed from Orchard Road

If you park it on the street.

 

Frosty the Snowman ‘neath electric snowflakes bright --

Though you must admit

They’re an awkward fit

With this sultry, tropic night.
