Operation: Winter Storm

TTTO: "Operation: Desert Storm" by Tom Smith
Lyrics: Gary Ehrlich (c) 3/96

Dedicated to the Winter of '96--Three cons, three blizzards

E           Asus2      E          Asus2        E

The snow is blowing and cold under Northeastern skies

The roads are icing but you won't see fear in my eyes

I need to work so I climb in and turn up the heat

Then rev my car's custom engines and take to the streets

       G         A                C     Em

   The traffic reports blare from my radio

     G             A            C            Em

   I have just one thought as I head for the road

        G              A              C           Am7          E

   That I'll beat this damn snowstorm if it's the last thing I do

The drivers here act like Pinky; but I am the Brain

I ponder safe driving tips while they all go insane

A dozen modifications to body and tires

And many high-powered weapons my gloved hands can fire

   From microwave headlights to ice-cracking mines

   I'd be rich if GM would buy all my designs

   But I'll beat this damn snowstorm if it's the last thing I do

Em          Am         Em            Am         Em

I should forget living here and move up further north

What I owe on auto parts far exceeds my net worth

Need high insurance to pay for the claims that I cause

The cops might bust me for breaking most state highway laws

   Still my common sense means I'm no winter dunce

   To wipe out means I have to skid only once

   But I'll beat this snowstorm by trying some tricks that are new

My snowplow extensions are perfect for abandoned cars

My ski-mounted boosters work great plus tailgaters get charred

My sonic blasters crack ice with an ear-splitting sound

My litter sprayers draw cats from ten miles around

   Yes I'm smart and I'm iron willed and Buffalo-trained

   If you hear my horn BEEP! Just skid over a lane

   And I'll beat this snowstorm if it's the last thing I do!

   (Eureka! That's it! Napalm! I love the smell of napalm in the morning!)
