The Lyrics
A-well I'm livin' out west here on the coast/A-where the California budget is shit on toast--say, how's the weather in your neck of the woods?
A-well-a way out west where I was born
(Guitar riff)
We been attacked and pounded by Pacific storms
(Guitar riff)
Well it rains
My car planes
It snows
And that blows
It floods
Creates mud
Landslides
You can't hide
Well, it ain't much-a f#@kin' fun
When there's no California sun...
A-well the winter gales have got us in a jam
(Guitar riff)
We gonna need assistance from our Uncle Sam
(Guitar riff)
Well it hails
I fishtail
Trees down
In my town
Flash floods
And more mud
Can't jog
I just slog
Well, it ain't much-a f#@kin' fun
When there's no California sun...
(Instrumental--torrential rain noise--electrical towers
falling--snowplows--cars piling up--sirens--helicopters--more rain
noise--guitar solo)
A-well my windshield wipers are a-goin' full blast
(Guitar riff)
Becuz the hydroplanin' well it really sucks ass
(Guitar riff)
We-e-e-e-e-ell, they slosh
And I slosh
They shimmy
And I shimmy
They swerve
And I swerve
They slide
And I slide
Well, it ain't much-a f#@kin' fun
When there's no California sun...
Well, there ain't no a-tannin' buns
When there's no California sun!
(Guitar riff)
We been attacked and pounded by Pacific storms
(Guitar riff)
Well it rains
My car planes
It snows
And that blows
It floods
Creates mud
Landslides
You can't hide
Well, it ain't much-a f#@kin' fun
When there's no California sun...
A-well the winter gales have got us in a jam
(Guitar riff)
We gonna need assistance from our Uncle Sam
(Guitar riff)
Well it hails
I fishtail
Trees down
In my town
Flash floods
And more mud
Can't jog
I just slog
Well, it ain't much-a f#@kin' fun
When there's no California sun...
(Instrumental--torrential rain noise--electrical towers
falling--snowplows--cars piling up--sirens--helicopters--more rain
noise--guitar solo)
A-well my windshield wipers are a-goin' full blast
(Guitar riff)
Becuz the hydroplanin' well it really sucks ass
(Guitar riff)
We-e-e-e-e-ell, they slosh
And I slosh
They shimmy
And I shimmy
They swerve
And I swerve
They slide
And I slide
Well, it ain't much-a f#@kin' fun
When there's no California sun...
Well, there ain't no a-tannin' buns
When there's no California sun!

I guess it would be rather cold-hearted to tell you that I found this hilarious. So, I won't tell you. ;) Great job!
That really does describe winters in Southern California.
