lyrics

Forty degrees, forty degrees,
That fat old sun's got the world on its knees
But I'm still going strong
Gonna keep on playing all day long.

An old guitar, a cheap cigar -
With these two things a guy can go far
If he's just left in peace
In these forty degrees.

You may say I'm wasting my time,
You may claim I under-perform.
But taking things slow - that's no crime
It's the calm before the storm.

This world is rough, but I'll hang tough,
Gonna work it all out if I'm here long enough
Under this deep blue sky.
I'll find the reason why.

That big old lion taking a doze
After his jungle feast.
His eyes may be closed but you'd be wise to know
He's still the king of the beasts.

Forty degrees, forty degrees,
You can run, you can hide, you can do what you please
But I'll get this little song done
Under that fat old sun.
I'll get this little song done
Under that fat old sun.
