about

written for Atomic Vaudeville's show:
L. RON HUBBARD PRESENTS YOUR TOWN!
[music/lyrics/performance/recording by brooke maxwell]

lyrics

Heat waves? Hailstorms? How boring!
Tsunamis and tornados? Oh please…
I prefer my tempests in a teacup.
My wicked tastes are more overcast…
‘Round about fourteen degrees… Muh ha ha ha

I like it mild, and mild it shall be!
Oh that must fill your heart with trepidation!
Yes, slightly cloudy with a hint of sunshine, I decree!
And possibly a slight chance of … precipitation. [hands rub together…]

You wish for snowfall? A white Christmas? Oh, you can dream!
I give you drizzle! [Santa never reads your letters!] ho ho!
And summer sunshine? Blue skies and ice cream? Ha ha!
Well, while I’m the reason that you’ll have to… pack your sweaters! [bwa ha ha!]

Oh you might expect that someone with my genius
Would make thunderclouds and lightning fill the sky!
You think I’d show my rage with stormy weather.
But actually, I’m a pretty happy guy… seriously!!!
[this is just kind of a hobby …]

I like it mild, and mild it shall be!
Oh that must fill your heart with trepidation!
When I feel wild, I might just raise it one degree! Ha!
But there’s always just the slight chance of precipitation!

It’s true, on a whim, I could totally ruin your summer vacation.
These powers are only limited by my…. Imagination!

[unresolved --> skit]

Muh ha ha! I like it mild! Ha ha ha ha ha!

[Choir]
