I Don't Like Ike

We're taking a hike
All thanks to Ike
We wanna be survivin'
So to Arkansas we'll be arrivin'

We moved to Houston
Four years ago
What we gained was hurricanes,
What we left was snow

So now we are dealin'
With winds free-wheelin'
140 mph and flooding too
no power, no roof, downed trees, Woo-Hoo!

But lucky for me,
I'll only see that on TV
'Cause I'll be livin' large
Drivin' to Arkansas in our family barge

So I'll see all my home-fries
When to Arkansas I arrive
'Cause we're runnin' from Ike today
For Hurricane Ike, we don't want to stay!

The kids can't wait
For grandparents to see
But the drivin' I hate
Nine hours going seventy

Too bad I'm not as strong
As my lineage long,
Who were raised on the beach
Close to the hurricane's reach

My grandma said
They'd all have a ball
And boil crawfish all night
To the sound of the squall

I'm of weak constitution
It is sad to say
So think what you will
Think what you may

But the Sickles are piling
All up in our van
For of dangerous hurricanes
I am not a big fan!!!!!
