THE WEATHER IN THIS TOWN
CAN MAKE YOU WANNA HIT THE ROAD
ONE DAY, IT'S BLAZIN' HOT
THE NEXT DAY DAWNS
AND MAN, IT SNOWED
AGAIN

BUT TODAY
BUT TODAY
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE HEAT AND THE HUMIDITY
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE RAIN AND ITS ACIDITY
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WEATHERMAN'S STUPIDITY
NOT TODAY
NO, TODAY
IS BEAUTIFUL

STILL, ALL THOSE OTHER DAYS
CAN DRIVE A MAN TO DRINK AND CRY
AS EV'RY MONTH GETS WORSE
A SOUL CAN'T HELP BUT SAY, "GOODBYE
"FOR GOOD!"

BUT TODAY
BUT TODAY
I DON'T CARE IF THERE'S MONSOONS PREDICTED LATE NEXT WEEK
I DON'T CARE IF HOT AND COLD FRONTS CONGREGATE NEXT WEEK
I DON'T CARE IF PLAGUES OF LOCUSTS LIE IN WAIT NEXT WEEK
NOT TODAY
NO, TODAY
IS BEAUTIFUL
GLORIOUS
CLEAR-BLUE SKY

YES, WHAT OTHER REASON SHOULD I GIVE
TO PROVE THIS IS THE PLACE TO LIVE
AND PLAY
BUT TODAY

I DON'T CARE IF I KEEP SHIVERIN' EV'RY NIGHT AWAY
I DON'T CARE IF THERE'S TORNADOES COMIN' RIGHT AWAY
I DON'T CARE IF HONOLULU'S JUST A FLIGHT AWAY
FOR TODAY
YES, TODAY
IS BEAUTIFUL
GLORIOUS
CLEAR-BLUE SKY
SEVENTY-FIVE DEGREES
GENTLE BREEZE FROM THE SEE

SURE, TOMORROW IT MAY SEEM ALL WET
AND I MAY SAY I GOTTA GET AWAY
BUT TODAY
TODAY IS WHY I STAY
