To the tune of Fascinating Rhythm
Apologies to the Gershwins
New lyrics written after the great flood of 2021 in lower mainland BC
Atmospheric River
Trapped me on the road
Atmospheric River
Freeway’s demolished
Bridges washed away
Banks have overflowed
Cows float in the bay
Farmlands abolished
Each day I rise and see there’s more rain
If it don’t stop I might go insane
Figure out that…
Climate change is happ’nin’
Pipeline’s gotta go
Hillsides are collapsin’
I’m in a dither
Apocalyptic river
An oil spill could flow
Goo in all the tidelands
The Earth does shiver
Oh how I wish that we could be
Carbon credit-free
Atmospheric river
Oh you could be the death of me
Atmospheric River
Wash the mountains to the sea
Atmospheric river
You could be the death of me
