Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Houston will shelter you
Until you find
A way that you can get back to
"Easy," dryin',
"Big Easy," dryin'.
But then Ike makes landfall--
Things blowin' around.
Then you see a man fall
It's Geraldo, the gasbag and clown.
Houston can't shelter you. . .
Downed power lines. . .
Wind whines.
Go from New
Orleans to
Town of Hou-
ston, then screwed.
The wind howls
You're here; once there.
Town's leveled; levees
Back home, fine.
Scowls:
You'd cleared out!
Houston can't shelter you. . .
Ma Nature time.
Until you find
A way that you can get back to
"Easy," dryin',
"Big Easy," dryin'.
But then Ike makes landfall--
Things blowin' around.
Then you see a man fall
It's Geraldo, the gasbag and clown.
Houston can't shelter you. . .
Downed power lines. . .
Wind whines.
Go from New
Orleans to
Town of Hou-
ston, then screwed.
The wind howls
You're here; once there.
Town's leveled; levees
Back home, fine.
Scowls:
You'd cleared out!
Houston can't shelter you. . .
Ma Nature time.
