The Weather Channel
From the album Little Movies
The Weather Channel ©2001 Michael Jerling It’s on all night It’s on all day The people smile The music’s great My local forecast Is on the eights There’s a storm off Africa Comin’ this way It might hit four on the Saffir-Simpson Scale Don’t get me wrong I don’t want Anyone to die Sure would be cool to hit Category Five I think I’ll just stay right here And watch The Weather Channel There’s a little old man Outside Moline Since he got cable He’s seldom seen Stocks up on canned goods Stares at the screen Twisters in Texas Blizzard in Maine Black ice in Saskatoon Mudslides in L.A. Outside my window The sky is blue But a fast moving front Could come right through He thinks he’ll just stay right there And watch the Weather Channel Their correspondents Are on the scene Flapping like flags Along the beach Out on the highway Crusted with sleet Floods out in Bangladesh Dust storms in Bahrain Black ice in Saskatoon A blizzard in Maine Thought I might take the wife Go out to a show But now I’m worried about This monsoonal flow I think we’ll just stay right here and watch The Weather Channel Honey, do we live in a low lying area? You know it’s the storm surge that’ll get ya’ I know we live in South Dakota But these storms can spawn tornadic activity Michael Jerling - 12 string, vocals Tony Markellis - acoustic bass Danny Whelchel - drums, percussion Kevin Maul - pedal steel
