The Lyrics
First parody in over a week. Seems longer. This is dedicated to the weathercasters (mostly women, unfortunately) here in San Jose, California, who drive me nuts. If the sky isn't totally clear and blue, it's "gloomy." Not only do I think that they should shut up and stop trying to "entertain," but they don't realize how lucky they are. As a kid growing up in Los Angeles, I complained to my parents about how cold it was outside, having briefly forgotten that they grew up in Chicago.
Ain't no sunshine, so she's down
How she whines when skies are gray!
It's not wet upon the ground
Not too cold - no one's snowbound
But she hates when it's this way
A tornado crashed a blimp
Hurricanes attacked the Cape
Weather chick who always primps --
She's a California wimp
Standing with her mouth agape
And her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose,
her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose,
her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose,
her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose,
her nose, her nose, her nose is as plastic as her big smile, I've found
And ain't no sunshine when she's 'round
"Ain't no sunshine," she opines
Want to punch her? Get in line!
Like to send her to New York
And find a big fat cork --
Stick it where the sun don't shine
Stick it where the sun don't shine
Stick it where the sun don't shine
Stick it where the sun don't shine!
How she whines when skies are gray!
It's not wet upon the ground
Not too cold - no one's snowbound
But she hates when it's this way
A tornado crashed a blimp
Hurricanes attacked the Cape
Weather chick who always primps --
She's a California wimp
Standing with her mouth agape
And her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose,
her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose,
her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose,
her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose,
her nose, her nose, her nose is as plastic as her big smile, I've found
And ain't no sunshine when she's 'round
"Ain't no sunshine," she opines
Want to punch her? Get in line!
Like to send her to New York
And find a big fat cork --
Stick it where the sun don't shine
Stick it where the sun don't shine
Stick it where the sun don't shine
Stick it where the sun don't shine!

Excellent parody and appropriate conclusion.
:-) Sunshine... yes, I'm sure I remember what that is...
May the Fives rain down on you, Mari. This one was great!
Mari-something different and very funny
Forecast says 100% chance of 5's for this parody.
More 5's :-D Fine parody Mari D. (get it ?) *uhg* lol GJ & you TC ;-D
And that goes double for Jillian Barbet!!!!! Can't stand er... Great Job, Mari!
May the 5's rain down on this repeatedly. Mucho excellante
This evening's weather will be dark all night clearing by morning. The winter so far in south Texas has been a rather cool one but I am thankful for the cold because summer always brings heat to extremes. I have lived in northern climates for about two thirds of my life and I do not miss the ice and snow and cold. Some cold can be refreshing. Loved your parody, Mari.
This was a really good parody! I lived for a few years in Ca. and know the type. This gets 5's :D
I'm predicting 5s.
Wow! Thanks, everyone! Diva: I can't stand Jillian either. Birgitta: It's late, and at this hour the D's look like gaping mouths, but they could mean something completely different, like rain clouds???
Brrrr! It's drizzling and a freezing 65 degrees here today - got the heat on... ;-)
Mari-- new here, and this is the first one of yours I read, and what a hoot it was! "And her nose, her nose.." that was just too much!! Gonna be readin some more of yours tonight. 5-5-5!
