When the word whispers out about a tropical storm
Down in the Carribean, where it starts to form
It keeps building up strong, couple days go by
Pretty soon they can see a hurricane's red eye,
Big Wind,
(Big Wind, Big Wind) Big Bad Wind, (Big Wind)

They say hey, we're gonna' call this witch, Irene
She's a monster of a storm cloud and she looks real mean,
Slams the Bahama's hard with it's mighty might,
On up the Eastern Seaboard, ol' Irene set her sight,
Big Wind,
(Big Wind, Big Wind) Big Bad Wind, (Big Wind)

Mayor Bloomberg calls a conference of news
In New York City he says, "Evacuate, or lose.."
Anxiety grows high and it gets so bad,
Prez Obama leaves early, the vacation he had,
Big Wind,
(Big Wind, Big Wind) Big Bad Wind, (Big Wind)

Well, when she whips on land down in North Caroline..
They can feel the rain smash and the wind just whine
She drops enough wet to fill a foot high gauge
Then up the mighty Atlantic that beast does rage..
Big Wind,
(Big Wind, Big Wind) Big Bad Wind, (Big Wind)

Early hours Sunday morning surge hits the New York port
Deadens Battery Park and turns Long Island short,
She knocks down the tall trees, spreads debris and mud,
And in her aftermath leaves a "Noah's Ark" flood..
Big Wind,
(Big Wind, Big Wind) Big Bad Wind, (Big Wind)

Dwindles down up north, ol' hurricane Irene
A force as great as nature no-one's ever seen
We've had a year of strange weather, a mysterious trend,
It makes the experts all wonder, is it a beginning or end,
Big Wind,
(Big Wind, Big Wind) Big Bad Wind, (Big Wind)

Big Wind,
(Big Wind, Big Wind) Big Bad Wind, (Big Wind)
