Tale of a Texas Summer

Summers are hot in Texas, Can't squeeze a drop of rain, Gotta keep this noggin covered, Or the sun will cook my brain! If I walk around naked, I'll surely go to jail; The nights seem even hotter, My lawn's all fried to hell! A stroll along the block, Is damn near suicide; This ain't no laughing matter, 'Cause brother, it's hot outside! Traffic jams are brutal, The heat is tough on cars; Open cracks in my landscape, Resembles the surface of Mars! I can't remove my shoes, The pavement burns my feet; Perhaps I'll grab an egg or two, And cook 'em on the street! Energy bills are rising, I'm watching the thermostat; Ceiling fans are whirlin' high, I can barely cope with that! There's nothing we can do, We're fallin' to defeat; When it comes to Texas summers, We'll "sizzle" in the heat!
