If you're doing up some cookies and the whistle starts to blow
And the kids are at the movies and you've got three feet of snow
You can jump into the Volvo and go find your family
Then you'll head for the Expressway, where the going's always free
For the honchos up at Lilco have a dilly of a plan
If there's trouble out at Shoreham every woman, child or man
Can be sure of reaching safety, can come in out of the cold
Not one person will have problems if they'll do as they are told
Evacuation, evacuation
They say we'll all have time to pack our bags
And head for safer ground
Evacuation, evacuation
We might as well prepare to walk
Across Long Island Sound
We are living on an island, just in case it slipped their minds
When a person wants to leave it, here is what that person finds
There are just so many bridges, there are just so many boats
So unless you own a chopper, well I hope your tushie floats
Evacuation, evacuation
They say we'll all have time to pack our bags
And head for safer ground
Evacuation, evacuation
We might as well prepare to walk
Across Long Island Sound
Every time it starts to sprinkle and the wind begins to blow
First the lights begin to flicker, then the power starts to go
As I sit here lighting candles I see Shoreham by the sea
If they run that like they run this then they've seen the last of me
Evacuation, evacuation
They say we'll all have time to pack our bags
And head for safer ground
Evacuation, evacuation
We might as well prepare to walk
