Funny song about how hot it is in Tucson

Lyrics

Summertime In Tucson
Words & Music by Jim Hogan

Summertime in Tucson
Got just my cowboy boots on
?cause in the shade it?s 105
But there?s no humidity
So it feels like 103
Boy I?m glad the air is dry

If you?re standing real still
And factor in the wind chill
Then it?s ?bout a balmy 99
So locked inside where I reside
We can barely just survive
By crankin? down the thermostat to 65

Live in my air-conditioned house
Love my air-conditioned spouse
Feed my air-conditioned dog
While the cat?s chasin? the air-conditioned mouse
Drive my air-conditioned kids
To their air-conditioned school
And later after workin?
When the mercury is perkin?
We venture out and jump into the swimmin? pool

Do you want to hear a good joke?
The devil, he got heat stroke
It?s hotter here than where he?s from
Don?t you know God?s best creation
Is cool refrigeration
It?s really how the west was won

So from June until September
There?s one thing to remember
?bout living in the Old Pueblo
Come December you?ll be glad
You spent the summer barely clad
It sure beats shoveling snow

When the snowbird in-migration
Has boomed the population
And the traffic?s at a stop and go
It?ll sure as heck beat shoveling snow
