Let It Blow
D D/C#
He was a species on the verge of extinction
D/C Bm
She was an Air New Zealand hostess
Em Emmaj7
They were mystically joined, like Rawicz and Landauer
Em7 A
Like Pinky and Perky, like Porgy and Bess
D D/C#
O he loved the pursuit and the romance
D/C Bm
But the details were more of a chore
Em Emmaj7
When the bride’s veil lifted, his mind soon drifted
Em7 A
At least that’s what happened before
Chorus:
D D/C#
Let it blow, let it snow,
Bm A
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Bb F
Life’s little traumas and courtroom dramas
G A
Remind me I’m glad I’m alive
O she loved the clinking of glasses
When the toast was to nobles and princes
In the conjugal nest she was seen at her best,
With her keen eye for curtains and chintzes
She had all of the furniture ordered
By the time they were naming the date
And her mother came speeding from distant Dunedin
To help with the flowers and cake
Chorus
At the Chapel of Partial Remembrance
The ushers went into a seizure
Mr. Bacchus, they said, Should we stand on our heads
Would sackcloth and ashes displease you?
And they honeymooned down in Ibiza
Where the sun and the nightlife were hot
As she lay on the sand, he said, isn’t it grand?
I bring all of my wives to this spot.
Chorus
A life of volcanic activity
