Ode to a weatherman

(An imprecisely guided humour assignment)

There is one sure sign if the weather's going to get very, very rotten.
Jim Cantore will be there.
Meteorologist Jim Cantore is the Weather Channel's leading storm pursuer. If the weather's going to be bad, Cantore is going to be there, microphone in hand, hat being blown at an angle.
Now, in tribute to this reckless weatherman, who disregards his safety to bring us the latest, the Either Orr Marching Band and Medicine Show presents its first-ever recording, "Cantore":

If the weather's bad in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call (Cantore)
If it's somethin' weird an it don't look good
Who ya gonna call (Cantore)
I ain't afraid of no storm

I ain't afraid of no storm
If you're seein' things blowin' thru your head
Who can you call (Cantore)
Your neighbor's roof flyin' overhead
Oh, who ya gonna call (Cantore)
I ain't afraid of no storm
I ain't afraid of no storm

Who ya gonna call (Cantore)
If you're all alone pick up the phone and call (Cantore)
I ain't afraid of no storm

I don't like to boast
I ain't afraid of no storm
Who you gonna call (Cantore)
Mm…if you've gotten close
To a Cat-4 dose
Babe, you better call (Cantore)
Bustin' makes me feel good
I ain't afraid of no storm
Don't get caught alone oh no…(Cantore)
When it comes through your door
Unless you've just got some more
I think you better call (Cantore)
Ooh... who you gonna call (Cantore)
Who you gonna call (Cantore)
Ah, I think you better call (Cantore)
I can't hear you…(Cantore)

Who you gonna call (Cantore)
Louder (Cantore)
Who you gonna call (Cantore)
Who can you call (Cantore)
