It Is So Warm For Early In December

It is so warm for early in december the birds are panting and scarce a puff of breeze
And the tar is boiling on the sunlit roadway in temperatures of over thirty degrees
How come it's so warm this early on in summer? we hear the scientists talk of the ozone hole
If this be true we have influenced the weather and the temperatures not beyond our control.

Some scientists claim it's due to man's pollution that we experience the weather extremes
The water now is down to a slow trickle in the polluted rivers, creeks and streams
Three weeks ago the low lying paddocks flooded the changes a few warm weeks can bring
And the farmers they are praying for rain already although we've had big rainfalls through the spring.

Each year the summer temperatures keep rising and the warm weather goes into late Fall
And despite the first week of heavy rains the weather bureau claim it's been the warmest november of them all
'Twould seem the coastal towns will do well for Christmas and traffic jams on the highway to the sea
And new year's day will find them by the ocean the working man and his wife and family.

It is so warm for early in december and summer days have only just begun
And people already wearing their sun hats and sun screens to keep away the cruel rays of the sun
And some scientists claim that the extremes of weather is or was never beyond our control
And that modern man who creates much pollution is responsible for the big ozone hole
