[Intro – spoken, loose] It’s gettin’ cold... I’m freezin’… [Verse 1] I swear it’s gettin’ colder What happened to autumn Yesterday, thirty-five Sunroom nice and warm Now it’s barely five Yeah, I’m shiverin’ inside Blink once, summer’s gone Didn’t say goodbye [Verse 2] I say, “Stop your whingin’” “It’s just that time of year” “This’ll toughen you right up” “Got nothin’ much to fear” “Think about that big trip” “Won’t be long, you’ll see” “We’re off down to Tassie” “Just you wait,” says me [Pre-Chorus] Flannie on, socks to boot Still got shorts on... what a hoot Ears are cold, fingers stuck Brain won’t start… I’m outta luck [Chorus] Oh here we go… temp’s gone rogue One day fire… next day cold From sweatin’ through to chattin’ teeth That’s just how it goes beneath This crazy sky we live under Sun to storm... it makes you wonder We laugh it off… fair dinkum fun Weather’s got us on the run [Verse 3] Worked too hard, losin’ weight Should’ve kept a little spare Now he’s just a skinny bear Freezin’ everywhere No fat left on those old legs Heat engine’s stalled and cold All that work for nothin’ now That story’s gettin’ old [Pre-Chorus 2] Every breeze cuts right through Like he’s got no shield at all If this is just the warm-up He’s in trouble come the fall [Bridge] So watch out Tassie… he’s headin’ down Keep that heater… cranked in town Long johns packed… won’t be enough If it snows… he’s callin’ your bluff This old fella… already knows… He don’t like… a leakin’ nose [Verse4] Yeah here we go… temp’s gone rogue One day fire… next day cold From sweatin’ through to chattin’ teeth That’s just how it goes beneath We’ll laugh it off and carry on Flannie, beanie… soldier on Through every chill, every run Tassie… here we come [Outro – spoken] …shoulda kept that extra weight. ...someone pass a blanket 'n' cuppa
