The Lyrics
They're topless in Skokie
They're shirtless in Maine
Cause it's so darn hot now
It's scramblin' our brains
They're fryin' in Phoenix-
Eggs on the street
Who needs a skillet
When you've got concrete?
Might as well sizzle
some bacon strips, too
And while we're at it
Let's have a fondue
The ground is a'crackin'
It's turned into dust
It's over one hundred
With humidity and such
The lizards are croakin'
And that's pretty bad
The lawns in my neighborhood
Are lookin' real sad
So come ye young weathermen
Give us a break
How much more torture
Are we gonna take?
This song is a long one
Like it or not
I am just sayin'
It's pretty damn hot
They're shirtless in Maine
Cause it's so darn hot now
It's scramblin' our brains
They're fryin' in Phoenix-
Eggs on the street
Who needs a skillet
When you've got concrete?
Might as well sizzle
some bacon strips, too
And while we're at it
Let's have a fondue
The ground is a'crackin'
It's turned into dust
It's over one hundred
With humidity and such
The lizards are croakin'
And that's pretty bad
The lawns in my neighborhood
Are lookin' real sad
So come ye young weathermen
Give us a break
How much more torture
Are we gonna take?
This song is a long one
Like it or not
I am just sayin'
It's pretty damn hot
