Backstory:
A friend of mine used to date a gal named Allie. He referred to her as "tornado Allie" when she got, shall we say, agitated. The first time he made mention of her in this way, I instantly knew it was a really cool hook.
Lyrics:
TORNADO ALLIE
(c) Lisa L. Medill/Marc-Alan Barnette
Don't be fooled by the calmness in her eyes
In an instant you'll be spinning from the damage flying by
Ain't nothin' you can do just can't hold it back
She hails from Oklahoma leaves destruction in her wake
There’s a trail of broken-hearted men across six states
No man remains unscathed that stays in her path
Yeah you better run for cover before it's too late
Find yourself some shelter there's a big one taking shape
(chorus)
Tornado Allie
Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn
Tornado Allie
You'll be better off waiting out this storm
You don't want to see the grand finale
Of tornado Allie
It starts the same way every single time
Such an innocent hello ends up a category five
High winds dark clouds building up to breakneck speed
Yeah I was once a victim of her catastrophic ways
Almost was a goner when her inhibitions caved
Was bashed around by brutal words that she hurled at me
I picked up the pieces with some help from Betty Lou
Her work’s beyond the Red Cross yeah she knew what to do
(chorus)
(bridge)
Stay away from windows, search for safer ground
Women grab your men because she’ll take what’s not held down
(chorus)
(tag)
Tornado Allie
