Last night the thermometer read forty seven,
And it rained like cats and dogs all night long.
The mountains started moving, just like in the movies,,
Mudslides, lotsa mudslides!

Seems there's so much mud in Southern California
I don't think it's ever been this bad before.
There's so much mud in California,
Girl, let me warn ya, don't come here, don't come here.

It ruined my home, It ruined my land,
My car fell in, just like quicksand,
I'm caked with mud, my wife is dead,
And I don't have a home.
There's so much mud in California,
Girl, let me warn ya,
Don't come here, don't come here.

Will you tell the folks back home I barely made it?
I'm still alive but I am a walking mudcake.
Please don't tell them how they found me, don't tell them
how they found me,
out in a lake, out in a lake.

Seems there's so much mud in Southern California,
Looks like the millionaires are starting to drown!
There's so much mud in California,
Girl, let me warn ya, stay outta my town, stay outta my town!
