Lyrics
Weatherman: Introducing the Greatest Show on Earth, the weather!

(Women cheering)

Welcome, everyone, it's the Weather Show

Bring your bathing suits, don't forget your boots and coats

Folks, we guarantee

The show that we perform

Is never dull if there's a lull

It's just a calm before the storm

Women: Watch it change from icy cold to toasty warm

And rearrange from sunny days to crazy storms

The curtain's rising; we're so glad to have you here

Weatherman: Come see the new show daily in the atmosphere

Women: Act 1, the sun!

Weatherman: The sun shines down on field and town

On forest, mountain, desert, sea, and snow

Some heat's absurd, some bounces off, ha, ha, ha!

Some here it's hold while there it may be cold

Women: The heated Earth hits up there air

Just like a big hot air balloon up, up it flows

Weatherman: The cooler air sneaks in below

It's heated, too, now look out folks, 'cause up it goes

The sinking air is called the high, which means it has high pressure. Low pressure air is on the rise and as they move together.

Women: Act 2, the wind!

Weatherman: The lows and highs, they sink and rise

The air begins to move and flow

It circulates at different rates

And that creates the winds that blow

Women: The highs are nice, they bring fair skies

Weatherman: Aha, but a low will often bring you clouds or rain

Women: And when they bump, they form a front

And changing out the weather in between

Weatherman: As the highs and lows push and shove, the weather front begins to move. And if a front moves into town, it means a storm just may come down! Act 3, the humidity!

Women: Because of heat, drops evaporate

From lakes and rivers, puddles, even trees

The air can fill right to the gill

With water vapor, that's humidity

Weatherman: When clouds appear, rain may be near

Women: Ooh!

Weatherman: 'Cause the vapor's cool and starting to condense

And if those drops

Women: Ooh

Weatherman: Begin to plop

Women: Plop, plop, plop

Weatherman: That's precipitation, folks, you've all get drenched!

Women: Yeah!

All: That's the weather, folks

You've got your money's worth

Weatherman: Hot or cold or soaking wet

Women: Hey, how lucky can you get?

Weatherman: The Weather Show's the Greatest Show

All: The Greatest Show on Earth!

Weatherman: Yes, sir!
