TALKIN' WEATHER BLUES
©Gary Bowman “A great, great deal has been said about the weather, but very little has ever been done.” -Mark Twain Talkin’ ‘bout the weather, Well, mainly complainin’ Too much sun, Too much rain ‘n Too much wind, Too hot, too cold, Too much ice, And, now there’s snow Everybody talks about the weather...nobody ever seems to do a darn thing about it...It’s a one-sided conversation We’re Talking Weather, Whinin’, grumblin’ Lightning flashing, Thunder rumbling Too much sleet, too much hail No weather a’tall in this county jail Ain’t no rainbow without the storm...and, I oughta know Ever-body talking, Ever-body right, Sun in the morning, Moon at night The weatherman, He makes an honest buck Right half the time, With a little bit o’luck Nice work...if you can get it...that’s milk money! If you’re lookin’ for rain, let me tell you what to do You gotta plan a family bar-be-que Beef ribs, pork ribs, hot dogs, chicken Light up the grill, and the storm comes a-kickin’ Women and kids scramblin’...Grabbin’ drumsticks on the fly...Finger-lickin’ good If you ‘re lookin’ for rain, let me tell ya, now, pal Go on a picnic, with your best gal Ya gotta wash your car, Go to the lake Bet your money, a storm’s gonna break Happens every time...have a back-up plan...go to the movies...Gone with the Wind My old moo cow was a-scratchin’ her ear, A sure sign that a shower is near When she thumps her ribs with her tail Lightning, thunderstorms and hail You can count on Bessie...about half the time, anyway...with a little bit o’luck...milk on the side High on the mountain just a-singin’ this song When a summer storm came rollin’ along Branches dancing, from ever’ tree I’m just as happy as a fella can be No such thing as bad weather...Just different kinds of good weather... Now, s’cuse me while I dance in the rain |
