ARTHUR

 
            THE BAROMETER, IT’S QUICKLY DROPPING
            I KNOW THAT ARTHUR’S GOING TO VISIT
            AS A GUEST HE’S NOT WELCOME
            AND WHAT HE BRINGS IS NOT NICE, IS IT

            HE’S ONE OF THE NASTY “ITIS” BROTHERS
            AND IN FACT HE’S PROBABLY THE WORST
            I HOPE YOU AND HE AREN’T ACQUAINTED
            IF YOU HAVE THEN YOU’VE BEEN CURSED

            YOUR PHYSICAL BAROMETER’ WILL FLARE UP
            AND YOU KNOW YOU ‘RE GOING TO CRY
            AS THOSE DREADED ACHES AND PAINS BEGIN
            THROUGH THOSE TEARS YOU SIGH, ASK WHY

            A REMEDY, UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NONE
            ALTHOUGH COUNTLESS THINGS YOU’VE TRIED
            YOU EVEN MOVED TO A DIFFERENT CLIMATE
            THINKING FROM ARTHUR YOU COULD HIDE

            BUT IT SEEMS HE CAN ALWAYS FIND YOU
            CAN MAKE HIS DREADED PRESENCE KNOWN
            BECAUSE WHEN THE RAIN STARTS FALLING
            YOU CAN FEEL IT DEEP DOWN IN YOUR BONES

            ARTHUR, HE FOR SURE DOESN’T PLAY FAIR
            AND OF THIS I CAN SURELY ATTEST
            WITH HANDS LIKE CLAWS AND ACHING FEET
            I STILL TRY TO DO MY VERY BEST

            ARTHURITIS, I REALLY DON’T LIKE HIM
            BECAUSE OF WHAT HE HAS DONE TO ME
            DAMP, RAINY DAYS ARE ALWAYS THE WORST
            IF YOU HAVE IT WITH ME YOU MUST AGREE
