Lyrics

IT WAS A HOT AND STICKY NIGHT IN CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI.
HOUND DOG WAS HOWLIN? SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTANCE.
I WAS THROWIN? MY CLOTHES IN A SACK.
GOTTA GO BEFORE SHE?S BACK.
?CAUSE SHE STARTS HEARING VOICES AT A HUNDRED AND TWO,
GOTTA FIND SOMEPLACE COOL, ?CAUSE IT

FELLS LIKE A HUNDRED AND FIVE. YEOW, YOU KNOW IT
FEELS LIKE A HUNDRED AND FIVE.

MY BABY?S ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH HEAT.
LAST TIME IT WAS HOT WE HAD TO CALL THE POLICE.
SHE BROKE A SWEAT AND TOTALED THE CAR.
DROVE INTO A LAKE SHE SAID TO PUT OUT A FIRE.
BUT THAT WAS JUST A HUNDRED AND TWO,
GOTTA FIND SOMEPLACE COOL ?CAUSE IT

(Repeat)

EMOTIONS RISE WITH THE HEAT.
WE WOULD DIE FOR A COOL SUMMER BREEZE.
EVEN I CAN?T THINK CLEAR WHEN ITS HOT.
101, 102 ,103, GOD, WHEN WILL IT STOP? MERCY!

(Repeat)

SHE STARTS HEARING VOICES AT A HUNDRED AND TWO,
GOTTA FIND SOMEPLACE ITS COOL BABY,

FEELS LIKE A HUNDRED AND FIVE, GOD ALMIGHTY,
YOU KNOW IT FEELS LIKE A HUNDRED AND FIVE
WATCH IT WHEN THE MERCURY RISES BABY.

AT ONE-O-ONE SHE GETS THAT LOOK IN HER EYE,
AT ONE-O-TWO YOU BETTER SAY YOUR GOODBYES,
BY ONE-O-THREE YOU BETTER BE OUT THAT DOOR . . .

FEELS LIKE A HUNDRED AND FIVE.
IN HER EYES, FEEL THE FLAME.
FEELS LIKE A HUNDRED AND FIVE.
GOODBYE.
GOODBYE.
