It's Too Darn Hot ala Cole Porter

It's too darn hot!
It's too darn hot!
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight,
Refill the cup with my baby tonight.
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight,
Refill the cup with my baby tonight,
But I ain't up to my baby tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot

It's too darn hot!
It's too darn hot!
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight,
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight.
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight,
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight.
But brother you fight my baby tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot

According to the Kinsey Report
Ev'ry average man you know
Much prefers his love-y dove-y to court
When the temperature is low,
But when the thermometer goes 'way up
And the weather is sizzling hot,
Mister pants for romance is not

'Cause it's too, too,
Too darn hot!
It's too darn hot!
It's too, too darn hot!
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight,
Pitch the woo with my baby tonight
But brother, you fight my baby tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot!

According to the Kinsey Report
Ev'ry average man you know
Much prefers his lovey dovey to court
When the temperature is low
But when the thermometer goes 'way up
And the weather is sizzling hot,
Mr. Gob for his squab,
A marine for his queen,
A G.I. for his cutie-pie is not

'Cause it's too, too,
Too darn hot!
It's too darn hot!
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot!


I think Mr. Porter pretty much sums up the weather here in Oklahoma this summer.  I got up at six this morning trying to get the yard and flowers watered before it gets too hot.  My flowers look like they usually start looking around the end of October.  One of the giant ferns out front died completely. 
Speaking of water, the city has new meters that fit over the water turn offs at the front of people's property rather than at the house.  This is supposed to be a more accurate measurement of water usage and the usage is averaged.  Some folks are receiving six hundred dollar water bills!  No wonder so many lawns are looking so dry.  Who can afford the water bill?  Luckily, we have a pump and well we use for most outdoor watering needs.  We run that pump hours each day and are still having a fight to keep our expensive new sod alive.  It's just too darn hot.
