Seasons come, seasons go
in the winter we get snow, never enough grit to
go around, begging from other towns,
mixing table salt to make ends meet.
We need salt to grit the roads, never
enough the same old story, everything comes
to a standstill.

Along comes summer it gets very, very hot
we’re short of water. We have a drought,
reservoirs going down.
Don’t use too much, you must cut down.
It’s very, very precious, don’t have a bath have a shower.
Along come stand-by pumps, you must be very careful.

Same old story, we’ve heard it all before
in a crisis the country cannot cope.
That’s for sure.
