Hurricane’s a’ comin’ we are all going to die…

It had to be done. I am sure my friends, we can think of a few more lyrics than this… add if you want:

Hurricane’s a’ comin’ we are all going to die
Hurricane’s a comin’ we are all going to die
Storm surge is a risin’ yet there’s not a cloud in the sky
Hurricane’s a comin’ we are all going to die

I’ve tied off the boats ma’am and filled up the tanks
The water’s already lappin’ up top of the pier
The rain has yet to come but the floods already here
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die


I’ve taped up the windows for what good my dear
I’ve dragged in my tables and chairs and the dog
The cops are a knockin’ tellin’ us all we’d better be gone
Hurricane’s a comin’ we are all going to die

The wind is a howlin’ and sea’s a slamin’ the wall
Murdocks is now a pile of wood and debris
And now its a’ sitting on Seawall boulevard
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die

Oh my beautiful beach house sitting on the gulf
Is now in pieces in a mound on Smith point
Along with my TV’s and furniture and stuff
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die

Write your number on your arm if you plan to stay
So we can tell your mom when we find you in the bay
The coasties won’t go out when the storms here today
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die

Ten feet of water flowing down on the Strand
The live oaks are poisoned and the everything’s dead
But Elissa is floating and doing just fine
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die

Payco marina has been smashed into bits
Hundreds boats are now on all over the streets
Who’s going to clean it, the City or the State?
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die

The water has been gone and power is still down
It’s been three weeks and we are still in the dark
FEMA has been passing out MRE’s and ice
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die

It smells of fish and my carpet’s in piles
I’ve shoveled out three feet of mud from my house
Insurance informed me they won’t pay for the flood
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die

Hurricane’s a’ comin’ we are all going to die
Hurricane’s a comin’ we are all going to die
Storm surge is a risin’ yet there’s not a cloud in the sky
Hurricane’s a comin’ we are all going to die
