DC! DC! Song to New York! New York! With apologies to Comden Greene & Bernstein DC! DC! The dog days are here! The weather's better on Venus I fear, if it gets worse we can try scuba gear. DC! DC! It's so hellishly warm, the humiture is surpassing the norm! I just can't wait for the next thunderstorm. Washington DC DC! DC! It's a hundred and nine! The air is as gummy as turpentine. The White House has hung up a Gone Fishin' sign. DC! DC! Quick! Hurry! Don't wait! Go pack up your bags! If you don't leave soon you'll asphyxiate! DC! DC! The dog days are here!
