about

HUMOR is laughing at stuff that ain't funny. Sometimes you need to take a break from worry about approaching doom and gloom and just chuckle. It doesn't fix anything, but it sure feels better for a moment!
NOTE: "Uncle Kevin" is a great accordion player who lives in the desert southwest of Tucson. He's quite a showman on stage and I hope he lives on, performing for years!

lyrics

Tucson Bay - Copyright 2020 Darrell Elmer Rodgers

Building sand castles with the kids
down at the beach
and you know it wasn't long ago
We thought this lifestyle was out of reach

Ain't it funny how life changes
Now we're down here every day
And I'm thanking global warming, for forming
My home on Tucson Bay

~~~chorus~~
Tucson Bay, Tucson Bay
Life gets better every day
And I'm thanking global warming, for forming
My new home on Tucson Bay


when that polar ice cap melted
it made the whole earth re-arrange
we found ourselves on a waterfront lot
Thanks to good ol' Climate change

We've got the biggest inland sea
since Bonneville drained away
And I'm thanking global warming, for forming
My home on Tucson Bay

~~~chorus~~
Tucson Bay, Tucson Bay
Life gets better every day
And I'm thanking global warming, for forming
My new home on Tucson Bay


Look out across the water kids
at Tucson Mountain Island's shore
We used to go see saguaros, but God knows
we just can't drive there anymore

And over there to the south a bit
was that road called Ajo Way
where Uncle Kevin went to heaven
when God filled up this Tucson Bay

~~~chorus~~
Tucson Bay, Tucson Bay
Life gets better every day
And I'm thanking global warming, for forming
My new home on Tucson Bay


A man's home is his castle
and Uncle Kevin's had a moat
We learned something surprising as the water kept rising
Accordions don't float!

It was a valiant effort
some say he'd have made it all the way
if he hadn't been rolled by the Border Patrol
as he swam across Tucson Bay!

~~~chorus~~
Tucson Bay, Tucson Bay
Life gets better every day
And I'm thanking global warming, for forming
My new home on Tucson Bay

Yes I'm thanking global warming, for forming
My new home on Tucson Bay
