On a star-lit winter night   The moon is shinning bright,   Back in January od 1994      At 4:30 in the morning,   Without a single warning,   Something strange begins to move the floor...      A Quake! A Quake!   The house begins to shake   You're bouncing across the floor   And watching all your dishes break      You're sleeping there's a quake   You're instantly awake   You're leaping out of bed and shouting:   "Oh! For heaven's sake!"      I ran outside with neighbours,   Their faces filled with shocks   That's because I'm standing there in nothing but my socks   oops!      A quake! A quake!   This must be a mistake   Just feel the ground go up and down    "Won't someone hit the brake?"      A quake! A quake!   Oh what a mess the make!   The bricks, the walls, the chimney falls,   destruction it's wake      I did not have insurance   I called them from the scene   And suddenly I'm listening to    an answering machine say:      "Too late, too late,    you shouldn't ought to wait,    'Cause now you're stuck, we wish you luck,    here comes a six point-eight!"       Whose fault? whose fault?   It's San Andeas's   'Cause Mr. Richter can't predict her    kicking our asphalt      Seismologists all say    tectonic plates are in between   An encroaching crustal mantle,   Yeah, so what the hecks that mean?!      It means a quake! a quake!   "Oh really, yeah no fake?    We kind of got that feeling    when the ground began to shake!"      Californa great,   It's such a lovely state   But every lawn is sitting on    a continental plate      Los Angelas had fires,   and a riot,   and a foold and then a drought,   then a Recssion      And now we hear this thud of a quake! a quake!   How much more can we take?   We thought that we had seen it all   But this one takes the cake!      The dirt, the rocks,    those crazy after-shocks   It's just the planet moving granite    several city blocks      L.A. town is falling down,    while the ground moves around,   We won't let it get us down   We're Californians!      A quake, a quake   It's time to pull up stake   We're all fed up we can't deny it   Fires, Quakes, and Floods, and Riots,   We just want some peace and queit      So we're moving to Beirut!!!!
