It's hot!
It's hot!
When the heat is excessive
It's oppressive
It's hot!
When it's so hot you feel horrid
It's torrid
It's hot!
When the heat could melt your ring
It's sweltering
It's hot!
When you wish you could just be disappearing
It's searing
It's hot!
When the heat's way more than trifling
It's stifling
It's hot!
It's hot!

Evil Everywhere
There is evil everywhere
There's no use to deny it
This song can't make it go away
But it can help you describe it
If you have no morals you are certainly depraved
You'd likely do most anything, your soul cannot be saved
Corrupt implies an evil you acquired from another
As in "He was a nice boy 'til he was corrupted by his brother!"
If your actions are so wicked that they pain us
The things you do can surely be described as heinous
I know this fellow who is strange, with a sheep he flirted
There's no doubt about it, that fellow is perverted
If you're like a devil, if some day in Hell you'll frolic
People might say accurately you're diabolic
There is evil everywhere
There's no use to deny it
This song can't make it go away
But it can help you describe it
