If trouble comes down the local mountain
You don't want to be around
If trouble comes down the local mountain
You'd better head for higher ground

The last time trouble came down the mountain

It nearly swept away the bridge 
The last time trouble came down the mountain
It ruined my washer and fridge

Fourteen feet of water came down the little river
And in my basement left a foot of silt
After all that water came down the little river 
My basement had to be rebuilt 

With all that water lapping 
One house started to list
With all that water lapping 
We all had to assist

This is supposed to only happen every hundred years
With all the sewer and drainage clogged
This is supposed to only happen every hundred years
With all our property and housing badly waterlogged

I wonder what climate change disbelievers will say
To us with daily fears
I wonder what those doubters will say
If the storm doesn’t wait another ninety two years
