we’re having a heatwave

we’re having a heatwave
a tropical heatwave
the temperature’s rising
it isn’t surprising
she certainly can can-can


Composed by Irving Berlin for the 1933 musical As Thousands Cheer

Performed by Marilyn Monroe in the 1954 film, There’s no business like show business

At 1.30pm this afternoon the temperature was reading 30C in the shade. An hour later the sun nudged the thermometer and the temperature rose to 35C.

I know my Australian relations regard us a wimps for wilting in this heat - but at least we don’t put gloves and scarves on, when it drops to what we regard as a warm and pleasant 18C.
