"Is It Hot Enough Fer You?"

Topics: classic

I.     I wouldn't mind the weather much--I'd sizzle and I'd stew,     And do the very best I could the heat to struggle through,     If I could find some way, you know, the feller to eschew,     Who greets you with the chestnut phrase--                     "IS IT HOT ENOUGH FER YOU?" II.     The mercury might climb the tube and spill right out the top--     The sweat might ooze from every pore and off my carcass drop--     I wouldn't mind the heat at all, and keep my temper too,     If it wasn't for the cuss who says--                     "IS IT HOT ENOUGH FER YOU?" III.     The sun might shine his level best--the sky seem molten brass--     The heat might dry up every stream, and burn up all the grass--     The evening come without a breeze--the morning have no dew--     If it wasn't for the 'moke' who asks                     "IS IT HOT ENOUGH FER YOU?"
