Look out, Cleveland, the storm is coming through
And it's running right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye-bye, baby, don't you lie so still
It was Wednesday evening when first we heard the word
It did not come by train nor bird
T'was when Ben Pike stepped down to say
"This old town's gonna blow away"
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is coming through
And it's running right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye-bye, baby, don't you lie so still
Chain lightning, frightening as it may seem
Must not be mistaken for just another dream
Justice of peace don't know his own fate
But he'll go down in the shelter late
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is coming through
And it's running right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye-bye, baby, don't you lie so still
Hiding your money won't do you no good
You build a big wall, you know you would if you could, yeah
When clouds of warning come into view
Better get the old woman right outta her shoe
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is coming through
And it's running right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye-bye, baby, don't you lie so still
