The Lyrics
Sun is a burning thing;
it’s returned, and I yearn to sing.
Drowned nearly in mire…
it’s swell now—things are getting drier.
A swell thing is that burning ring of fire;
rain fell down, down, down;
the water got higher.
Weather’s turned, turned, turned—
and it is drier!
That’s our desire.
Rain unpaved many streets;
water rose many feet.
The weather was far from mild…
9-1-1 often dialed.
A swell thing is that burning ring of fire;
sun is out! out!! out!!!
Now they’ll retire the mire.
Weather’s turned, turned, turned—
it’s friggin’ drier!
I play my lyre.
No well drinks do I now feel urge to sire;
I’ll down no more rounds…
in a drink-drought choir.
Temperance…I’ve turned—
no more desire
to pour down fire[water].
it’s returned, and I yearn to sing.
Drowned nearly in mire…
it’s swell now—things are getting drier.
A swell thing is that burning ring of fire;
rain fell down, down, down;
the water got higher.
Weather’s turned, turned, turned—
and it is drier!
That’s our desire.
Rain unpaved many streets;
water rose many feet.
The weather was far from mild…
9-1-1 often dialed.
A swell thing is that burning ring of fire;
sun is out! out!! out!!!
Now they’ll retire the mire.
Weather’s turned, turned, turned—
it’s friggin’ drier!
I play my lyre.
No well drinks do I now feel urge to sire;
I’ll down no more rounds…
in a drink-drought choir.
Temperance…I’ve turned—
no more desire
to pour down fire[water].
