What did She say?
“Huff and puff
And blow it all away”

[Break]

[Verse 1]
The wind came in
And blew the clouds away
Forecast: clearing all day
Game on

[Bridge]
The wind shear
Dropped near
Forcing the sky to clear

[Chorus]
All my troubles blown away
At for the day
All my troubles on their way
To yesterday

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Bass]

[Break]
What did She say?
“Huff and puff
And blow it all away”

[Verse 2]
The wind blew by
Clearing away the sky
Forecast: clear and dry
Kiss your troubles goodbye
(Goodbye)

[Bridge]
The wind shear
Dropped near
Forcing the sky to clear

[Chorus]
All my troubles blown away
At for the day
All my troubles on their way
To yesterday

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Drum Fills]

[Break]
What did She say?
“Huff and puff
And blow it all away”

[Verse 3]
The wind blows and flows
The sky turns crystal blue
And maybe, who knows
She’ll blow yours away, too

[Bridge]
The wind shear
Dropped near
Forcing the sky to clear

[Chorus]
All my troubles blown away
At for the day
All my troubles on their way
To yesterday

[Outro]
What did She say?
“Huff and puff
And blow your troubles away”

A SCIENCE NOTE
Wind shear refers to the variation in wind speed and direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. It can have significant effects on cloud formation and cloud cover in several ways:

1. Disruption of Cloud Formation: Wind shear can disrupt the vertical development of clouds by causing turbulence and mixing in the atmosphere. This turbulence can inhibit the upward motion of air necessary for cloud formation, leading to reduced cloud cover in regions affected by strong wind shear.
2. Cloud Orientation: Wind shear can tilt or distort the shape of developing clouds. When wind shear is strong, it can cause clouds to stretch horizontally instead of building vertically. This can result in elongated or lenticular cloud formations rather than the typical cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds.
3. Cloud Dissipation: In areas with strong vertical wind shear, clouds may be sheared apart or dispersed. This can lead to the breakup or dissipation of clouds as they are stretched or torn apart by the varying wind speeds and directions at different altitudes.
4. Formation of Anvil Clouds: Wind shear can contribute to the formation of anvil-shaped clouds, particularly in thunderstorms. Strong upper-level winds can blow the tops of developing cumulonimbus clouds horizontally, creating the characteristic anvil shape seen in mature thunderstorm clouds.

Wind shear plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and distribution of clouds in the atmosphere. Its effects can vary depending on the strength and direction of the shear, as well as other atmospheric conditions such as temperature and humidity.
