Now, here we have two real pioneers
Embarking upon a new career
Capitalizing on this "" hype.
Yeah, they're the one's who brought you the left-handed hammer
And tried to market a pamper;
You could say the Gullible Brothers have always been the entrepreneurial type
But this next hare-brained Gullible venture
Could be earmarked as the major clincher
As to whether or not they'll be livin' it up in their retirement age.
They put all they had into one bankroll,
Bought a bunch of land down at the ,
Eagerly awaiting the impending doom of "!"
Hee, hee! Thereby being in the catbird seat in the new Florida!
And I'm all for working hard
To ,
But man-made just don't make no sense to me.
But if you insist on buying into this media false ,

And I'm all for working hard
To keep this planet clean,
But man-made Global Warming just don't make no sense to me.
But if you insist on buying into this media false alarm,
I know a couple of guys who wheel 'n deal in frozen farms!

[TV announcer:]
"Well, boys, what's the weather like down there? cold!"
[Bary Gullible, shivering some more:]
"W-w-we-well, it's n-not too bad... S-say, sixty two below at the m-mo-moment, wind chill's a h-hunderd below... But spirits are hi-high, we been told it's definitely gonna rise in a few, few, litle while... it's uh... Record s-seven feet of snow... B-but Al Gore said its gonna be OK. OH, Lord! Justis, run! H-he-here comes a P-po-polar Bear! Aggghhhhh!"
And I'm all for working hard
