Song Lyric Sunday

This week the theme is to find a song related to weather conditions of sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy, or stormy suggested by Nancy of the Elephant’s Trunk aka The Sicilian Storyteller. Try to use the prompt words or at least conform to a general theme, as you see it.  If the song you select does not meet the criteria, then please explain why you chose this song.

This version is easier to hear, by Ella Fitzgerald, but Ethel Waters originally sang this song composed by Irving Berlin in 1933 for a broadway musical, “As Thousands Cheer”.

Verse)
A heat wave was riding through town last week
She came from the island of Martinique
The can-can she dances will make you cry
The can-can is really the reason why

(Chorus)
We’re having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperature’s rising
It isn’t surprising
She certainly can can-

She started a heat wave
By letting her seat wave
And in such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can can-can

Gee, her anatomy
Makes the mercury
Jump to ninety-three

We’re having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves
That thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
