The Earth is an Ice Fickle

Earth is an Ice Fickle
Ice Fickle Earth                  by JT Curtis    Feb 26th 2015



I don't know how long this
world is gonna last
As I read the daily news 
things are moving fast
They say the Earth is warming up
And melting all its ice
Now listen very carefully
'Cause this is my advice

Drink beer while it's cold
And whiskey on the rocks
Have a slushy with each meal
Eat ice cream by the box
Take a cold shower when,
you would rather take it hot
'Cause no one really knows
How much time the World has got

Put a snowball in the freezer
So you can show it to your friends           
When Winter now is Summer
And Summer never ends
Sell your skies before they're useless
And the big wide shovel too
'Cause things are getting hotter
This is what I'm telling you

Well, we know things keep on changing
And so shall my advice
'Cause  they say when things heat up
The Earth turns back to ice
But chances are we won't be here
When it finally gets to that
But maybe you should keep around
At least one coat and hat.
