The Ballad of Klimpaloon
Source
"The Ballad of Klimpaloon " is a song featured on the soundtrack for Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You! The Klimpaloon Ultimatum ".
Lyrics 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 the magical old-timey bathing suit
That lives in the Himalayas
They call him Klimpaloon (Klimpaloon) All the sherpas think that he's just a fool
Are you on a quest for a swimming pool?
Tell me, Klimpaloon (Klimpaloon) Lives in the mountains (oh), the frozen mountains (oh)
Unlived, unfriendly, and unmapped
He's so short-sleevey (oh), more knit than weavy (oh)
His lips are really, really chapped 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 scaring 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)
Nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang-nang!
He stands in winter! Notes This is the third song to start with the words "The Ballad of...", following Ballad of the Black Knight and The Ballad of Badbeard .
A part of the song was heard in "Bullseye! " when Lawrence Fletcher was showing off his swimsuit, which was just like the one the Klimpaloon was wearing.
The Himalayas are a mountain range between Tibet and Nepal. The most famous of the Himalayan mountains is Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.
The inspiration for Klimpaloon is a creature believed to reside in the mountain range often referred to as the yeti or abominable snowman.
The Klimpaloon looks like a Naga, a stuffed animal made with naugahyde, which may explain how "nang", the word the Klimpaloon can say, came from or was based on.
The version heard in the episode "The Klimpaloon Ultimatum " is at least 40 seconds shorter than the original version featured in the Summer Belongs to You!
