You pick a phrase, you pick a rhyme,
Repeat the sound another time,
Five iambs, then an extra beat will do ya.
Another rhyme, a rising note -
Congratulations, you just wrote
Another goddamn verse to Hallelujah.
Away out west, they have a name
For rain and wind and fire;
The rain is "rain", the wind is "wind",
And they call the fire, "fire".

Away out west, they have a namethe second one I also recall from as far back as before teen age years and I think there was maybe more to it.
For rain and wind and fire;
The rain is "rain", the wind is "wind",
And they call the fire, "fire".

it is a parody of They Call the Wind Maria from 1965
Away out west they have some names for wind and rain and killers
The wind is Tess, the rain is Joe, but they call the beast Godzilla.

The first one is new to me, but I've seen the second somewhere, quite a

There's a full song with something like those lyrics. I thought it was
in Xeno but can't find it in the index.

I think it was in Filthy Pierre's Microfilk but my copy is long gone. I
do half-remember another couple lines:
Godzilla kicks Japan around, sends Tokyo a-flyin',
Godzilla makes the ruins sound like hordes of people dyin'.
Or something like that.
