Gustav's Comin', Move Your Butt Girl



I wish I could put the music to "Eli's Coming" by Three Dog Night to these words. They fit perfectly.

I am not diminishing the treat of Hurricane Gustav. It could end up here in Texas. But sometimes a little bit of humor can ease the tension and the stress.

Gustav's comin'
Gustav's comin' (Gustav's a-comin')
Well you better move your butt, your loving butt
Gustav's a-comin' and the cards say... a big-ass storm!!!

Gustav's comin', move your butt, girl
Gustav's comin', move your butt, boy
Girl, Gustav's a-comin', you better move
Boy, Gustav's a-comin', you better move
Girl, Gustav's a-comin', you better move
Boy, Gustav's comin', move your butt, boy (move it)
You better, better move your butt
Gustav's comin', better run

Run but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away
From the wind and the rain
Your'll run to Texas by the coast
Think about going somewhere else,
(we done want you here)

Gustav's a-comin' (they ran but we don't want them in Texas)
Gustav's a-comin' (they ran but we don't want them in Texas)
Gustav's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya
(they ran but... they ran but...)
Get down on your knees
(they ran but they never got away)


"You need to be concerned and you need to get your butts moving and out of New Orleans right now. This is the storm of the century." - Ray Nagin (Mayor of New Orleans) in a press conference on August 30, 2008 concerning approaching Hurricane Gustav.

"Eli's Coming" by Three Dog Night



This is a video clip of Three Dog Night's great 1969 hit "Eli's Coming." This is a 39-year-old tune that could have been produced and considered mainstream even today.

Sing along if you must.

"Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl" - Three Dog Night

Lyrics:
Eli's comin'
Eli's comin' (Eli's a-comin')
Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart
Eli's a-comin' and the cards say... a broken heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)
You better, better hide your heart
Eli's comin', better walk
Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from
the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin'
(she walked but she never got
away)
Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin'
to git ya (she walked but...
she walked
but...)
Get down on your knees (she walked
but she never got away)
Eli's comin' (hide it, hide it, hide it)
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)
You better, better hide your heart
Eli's comin', better walk
Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from
the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's
a-comin' (she walked but she'll
never get
away)
Eli's a-comin' (she walked but
she'll never get away)
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin'
to git ya (she walked but...
she walked
but...)
Get down on your knees (she walked
but she'll never get away)
Get down on your knees
No-no, no-no
Lord, I said no-no, no-no, no-no
(hide it) She can
(hide it) hide it
(hide it) You better
(hide it) Somebody
(hide it) You got t'
(hide it) Oh, my
(hide it) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
