So Long Island got that flood The one that they said would come It didn't seem to bother anyone The coastal lights went down like sand Just as they prophesied Well no one really seemed surprised We all headed for higher ground And we took the whole damn town And in a tavern high and dry You won't believe who would come by Billy Joel played his old song At my gal's request The one that she likes the best Then my friends we took the fifth All at the same time Well Billy didn't seem to mind I can tell what we're made of I can hear my whole town sing So please don't go there's nothing out there Your world, tonight, is here In a tavern on a hill That my town would come to fill When the power came back on We turned it off and sang a song So Long Island got that flood The one that we all had feared Worst one in eighty years Nobody shed a tear, no no
