Song and lyrics

Lyrics: Santa Ana Winds: Whee-ooh-ooh-whee! Hello there, it's me! I'm the Santa Ana winds! I cause allergies I also make things weird A little bit about me... I'm a hot, hot breeze that originates from high-pressure air masses. Technically, I'm known as a katabatic wind, that's science for "a pain in your asses"! I'm mystical but also carry dangerous spores. I bring whimsy and forest fires, when I blow, there's magic in the air and a higher risk of suicide! I make children wheeze Cause I'm the Santa Ana winds! To reiterate, I make things weird, when I blow, it sounds like "whee!" I'll be back because I'm the wind and also kind of a narrator! Hey it's me again! I'm the Santa Ana Winds! Here's some magic dust which will make things weird! They had the same dream! They just got Santa Ana Winded! You might say "Don't do it Wind! Leave these poor people alone!" But I'm a prankster...tee-hee-hee-hee-e-e-e-e! I just want to see what will happen! You're looking really guilty! Rebecca: Move aside! Santa Ana Winds: You can't push the wind! Rebecca: Oh you! That kiss was all your fault! Santa Ana Winds: I just reveal your deepest wishes and fears, so it's you Rebecca it's not me! You're super weird, super weird! You're super weird, super weird! Rebecca: No I'm not! Go back to Santa Ana...I dint know if that's where your from or that's where your going... Santa Ana Winds: You ruined everything, you stupid bitch!

Notes

This song is likely in homage to songs by Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons. The tune and cadence of the lyrics are reminiscent of "Ragdoll", but clearly has influence from others of their songs "December 1963" etc.).

Reprise
