Forgive me.
The Heat Goes On
The heat goes on, the heat goes on
The sun keeps pounding, pounding on my brain
La dee da dee dee, la dee da dee da
It's one-hundred ten out in the shade, uh huh
(Or forty-three point three in centigrade), uh huh
Can't mow the grass 'cause it's all dead, uh huh
I'd rather shovel snow instead, uh huh
The heat goes on, the heat goes on
La dee da dee dee, la dee da dee da
The grocery stores are out of ice, uh huh
And air conditioning's mighty nice, uh huh
They'll need extra postage to send the electric bill,
If the sun doesn't get you the utility companies will.
The heat goes on, the heat goes on
La dee da dee dee, la dee da dee da
Grandpas sit in chairs and reminisce
About the last time it was hot as this.
The sun keeps getting hotter all the time
It's too hot to think of another rhyme…
The heat goes on, the heat goes on
The sun keeps pounding, pounding on my brain
La dee da dee dee, la dee da dee da
(Come to think of it, the lyrics are no lamer than the original...)
Forgive me.

I never can quite understand that... and obviously, we don't have a true lawn with only lush swaths of golf-course-worthy turf. We just mow the weeds. Hey, from a distance, it's all green, right?? Well, now it's not, but some of it is... you know, the tall, tufty, straggly stuff that gives our house that certain "on the brink of foreclosure" look that's so trendy right now.
*thinks of snow and cool fall breezes and...* Never mind, it's not working. :P
