The Weather Oracle

lyrics

Oh weather oracle
What do you see?
Oh weather oracle
Tell us please!
Oh weather oracle
What do you see!
Fulfill our yearly prophecy

Oh weather oracle
What say you?
Oh weather oracle
What do we do?
Oh weather oracle
What say you?
The future of winter depends on you

Six more weeks is what I say
I see it in the shadows and the clouds of gray
Winter has landed and here to stay
It’s told in prophecy as clear as day

See, I am no mortal, but a god among man
I can see things you can’t comprehend
The gift of my visions you’ll never understand
So I present them to you

My circle of elders, they call out my name
Patiently waiting until this very day
When I leave Gobbler’s Knob and show my face
And speak to you the truth

Oh weather oracle
What say you?
Oh weather oracle
What say you?
Oh weather oracle
What say you?
The future of winter depends on you

Oh weather oracle
I just have a question
Regarding the validity of your prediction
You’re just a little guy
A rodent in disguise
So how can I believe my eyes and trust it’s not all fiction?

Now listen here and watch it son
Don’t call me no rodent, you best hold your tongue
I run this town, hell I’m number one
The power I hold is second to none because

I am no mortal, but a god among man
I can see things you can’t comprehend
The gift of my visions you’ll never understand
I’ll present them to you

My circle of elders, they’re calling my name
They’ve been patiently waiting until this very day
I’ll leave Gobbler’s Knob and show my face
And speak to you the truth

“It’s a tradition, before we get Phil out, we get him fired up by chanting PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL!”

See, I am no mortal, but a god among man
I can see things you can’t comprehend
The gift of my visions you’ll never understand
But now I must leave you

My circle of elders, they’ve called out my name
The prophet has spoken all he has to say
But I will see you again on the second day
Of February of next year

Oh weather oracle
What say you?
Oh weather oracle
What say you?
Oh weather oracle
What say you?
The future of winter depends on you
