The Lyrics

Auntie Em! It's a Twister headed up to Florida!
Ivan's hitting up to Florida
Every night & day
Ivan's hitting up to Florida
Watch the rainfall pour away
Can't you hear the sirens sounding?
Updates on the news every morn
Can't you hear the people shouting:
Someone lost our home!?

Someone lost our home
Someone lost our home
Someone lost our homes with Ivan
Someone lost our home
Someone lost our home
Someone lost our happy home

Someone lost the power with Ivan
Someone lost the power, I know
Someone lost the power with Ivan
Blowin' out the winds much strong, and he says:

Bing, bang, what-the-dilly-yo
Bing, bang, what-the-dilly-yo
Bing, bang, what-the-dilly-yo
I will come to knock your homes

(hurricane sfx; suspenful music)

I've suspected folks would write more-- On the hurricane; Humor here is worth about four, the treatment's not too lame. Still, you're off on rhymes and pacing (those didn't fit the melody): Hope you're not upset for facing One more vote of three. Funnier than most was your Ivan post, still, it didn't scan quite ri-i-ight! Seeking higher votes? Gotta match the notes, gotta make it scan all right. Fee-fi-fiddly-i-o, worked hard on the lyrics, I kno-o-o-ow.. fee-fi-fiddly-i-o-- ev'ryone's got off days, though!
