Lovely Rita Hurricane
Lovely Rita Hurricane
Lovely Rita Hurricane
Only the Gulf between us,
If you come close you'll blow my heart away.
Standing by a parking meter,
With the water getting deeper
Filling up the streets til they looked like a brook
From outside she looked much bolder,
Lightning strikes start to smolder
Made it hard to dodge all the flying trash cans
Lovely Rita Hurricane

May I inquire discreetly?
When will you be
Flying away from me?
Car got stuck in the river
Had to swim, treading water,
Told her that I never want to see her again,
Found a boat but Rita sank it,
Ran for home I nearly made it,
Swimming on the freeway with a gator or two
Oh, lovely Rita Hurricane,
Life would be great without you,
Stay in the drink, don't want to think of you.
