[Verse 1] Peppers on the plants Plum tomatoes ripening on the vine Midsummer evenings on the back porch Barbecued sweet corn, sweet white wine [Chorus] When the west wind comes through Itll rip right through you When the west wind comes through Itll rip right through you [Verse 2] Bottle after bottle of the cheap stuff Feeling two degrees north of all right Heaven help us, heaven help us Were all gonna die tonight [Chorus] When the west wind comes through Itll rip right through you When the west wind comes through Itll rip right through you [Verse 3] Party goes on til the end of August The tensions build, the air currents throb Mosquitos suck the blood right out of my body Why dont they finish the job [Chorus] When the west wind comes through Itll rip right through you When the west wind comes through Itll rip right through you
