The things I come up with when it's 2 AM...
To the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic".
Mine eyes have seen the horror of the hurricaaane hordes
They have snapped up all the batteries, we're out of power cords
I am sure that we will see these back when power is restored
Orange aprons soldier on!
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Orange aprons soldier on!
The generator truck came in at four o'clock this morn
Sorry, sir, they're gone, we will not get more 'fore the storm
We're out of flashlights, tarps and rope, our patience now is worn
Orange aprons soldier on!
We're low on plywood now and we have sold out of duct tape
Irene's on her way now, there will be no great escape
Get your gutters ready, hope your house is in good shape!
Orange aprons soldier on!
So, it seems the storm is over, and the damage's rather low
Still, just enough is down for it to be a mighty blow.
They all charge to refunds; then to sump pumps they all go
Orange aprons soldier on!
The original last line was "Have you heard of Katia? There could be two storms in a row" but I had to change it because we'll at most get clipped by it if the forecasts are accurate.
