Band Aid
Band Aid's, "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
Better Lyrics:
[Boy George & Others]
We claim there's never snow in Africa at Christmas time
Though Mandela saw it every year of his life (Not quite)
'Cos we often overlook
Facts that others plainly see
Do they know this song is totes fact-free?
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to you
[Paul Young]
Raise a glass for everyone
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Whose donations

Bought Rwandan weapons
Do they know this song is totes fact-free?
We claim there's never snow in Africa at Christmas time

Do they know this song is totes fact-free?

Original Lyrics:
[Boy George & Others]
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to you
[Paul Young]
Raise a glass for everyone
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to them
[Paul Young, Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to you
[Paul Young]
Raise a glass for everyone
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to them
[Paul Young, Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
