Arthur

THE BAROMETER, IT’S QUICKLY DROPPING
I KNOW THAT ARTHUR’S GOING TO VISIT
AS A GUEST HE’S NOT WELCOME
AND WHAT HE BRINGS IS NOT NICE, IS IT

HE’S ONE OF THE NASTY “ITIS” BROTHERS
AND IN FACT HE’S PROBABLY THE WORST
I HOPE YOU AND HE AREN’T ACQUAINTED
IF YOU HAVE THEN YOU’VE BEEN CURSED

YOUR PHYSICAL BAROMETER’ WILL FLARE UP
AND YOU KNOW YOU ‘RE GOING TO CRY
AS THOSE DREADED ACHES AND PAINS BEGIN
THROUGH THOSE TEARS YOU SIGH, ASK WHY

A REMEDY, UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NONE
ALTHOUGH COUNTLESS THINGS YOU’VE TRIED
YOU EVEN MOVED TO A DIFFERENT CLIMATE
THINKING FROM ARTHUR YOU COULD HIDE

BUT IT SEEMS HE CAN ALWAYS FIND YOU
CAN MAKE HIS DREADED PRESENCE KNOWN
BECAUSE WHEN THE RAIN STARTS FALLING
YOU CAN FEEL IT DEEP DOWN IN YOUR BONES

ARTHUR, HE FOR SURE DOESN’T PLAY FAIR
AND OF THIS I CAN SURELY ATTEST
WITH HANDS LIKE CLAWS AND ACHING FEET
I STILL TRY TO DO MY VERY BEST

ARTHURITIS, I REALLY DON’T LIKE HIM
BECAUSE OF WHAT HE HAS DONE TO ME
DAMP, RAINY DAYS ARE ALWAYS THE WORST
IF YOU HAVE IT WITH ME YOU MUST AGREE
