Hurricane!!!
by Ms. Bilovsky’s class at Dayton Heights Elementary
to the tune of Spider Man theme by Webster and Harris
Way down South where it’s warm, there’s a rotating tropic storm
Moving West across the sea, getting closer to you and me
Look out, here comes a hurricane
Growing with solar power, blowing 74 miles per hour
It may get even faster, causing a natural disaster
Look out, here comes a hurricane
Meteorologists at the NOAA
Warn us of the risk, tell us “Get out of the way!”
Pack your things, don’t you wait when it’s time to evacuate
When it hits, it’s okay; you’ll already be far away
And when the storm causes mass destruction
Then comes the reconstruction
After the hurricane!
Notes
Ms. B's students were reading about natural disasters; then the day I came in to start a songwriting residency, the headlines were all about a hurricane smacking into Texas. We decided to write a little about where and how hurricanes are formed, as well as the importance of getting out of the way when you get the warning.
