A Year Without Summer

Lyrics

In the spring of 1315
 There began an era of unpredictable weather
 It did not lift until 1851
 You remember 1816 as the year without a summer
 June 1816
 A sudden snowstorm blankets all the country side
 So Mary Shelly had to stay inside
 And she wrote Frankenstein
 Oh 1816 was the year without a summer
 Grain couldn't ripen under these conditions, no
 It was brought in-doors in urns and pots
 It'd go from 95 degrees to freezing within hours
 A brutal struggle for the people and the starving livestock
 During the most sever years of this little ice age
 We looked for scapegoats to blame
 Many people tried to blame it all
 On a vast Freemason conspiracy
 Or Benjamin Franklin and his experiments with electricity
 The eruption of the volcano Tambora
 Blanketed the earth with ash
 That was the real cause discovered by some explorer
 Years later, looking back at the past
 I will give you
 My red color
 To take away your sickly pallor
 For you were very choleric of complexion
 Please beware the mounting sun
 And all dejection
 1816 was the year without a summer
