So. This year (2023) turned out to be a different type of aquapocalypse than detailed in this song, but with patience, all things can come to fruition?
The last week was the hottest ever recorded, and this song is supposed to be hilarious.

lyrics
When you come to the realization
It’s the end of our civilization
When you connect the dots
Aquapocalypse, that’s the word
Today they nudged an asteroid
A hundred gazillion miles away
In the hope they could save humanity
From being smashed by it one day
They measured mountains of math
To compute its future path
Knew where it had been, to know where it was going
Quantum calculations on a galactic scale
Compared to the fairy tales and horse shit
Those other guys have been throwing
It’s a Dyer situation yet some still deny it showing
It’s a drier hotter nation and it shows no sign of slowing
Aquapocalypse, Aquapocalypse
It’s a killer little silly word that just rolls off of your lips
Just sayin it makes you thirsty and swill down another beer
Sing and dance a happy song about how the end is near
Aquapocalypse, Aquapocalypse
NASA tried to tell us
Fresno would be an uninhabitable wasteland
Even worse than the one we know today
Like The Mayans and The Toltecs
And even now out by Chowchilla
You can see the drought destroying our whole way
Nothing short of civilization ending
No campaign of reality bending
No amount of fossil fuel defending
Can change the inev
Can change the inevita
Can alter what NASA learned through all their massive spending
Aquapocalypse, Aquapocalypse
Get yourself some salsa and a bag a chips
Just enjoy the show, cause here we go
Don’t even stand a chance without a lotta H20
Yeah we’re gonna fry, all will die
Ain’t never leavin Fresno even though we try
Just can’t get away to Morro Bay
Without adding to the problem that we face today
Slowly dyin a thirst might sound like the worst
But before you go insane, here’s what gonna happen first
When you start to hallucinate
You know you’re almost there
Feel like you’re spinning on The Tilt-O-Whirl
At the Big Ol’ Fresno Fair
But you can’t even get a Pepsi
A cinnamon roll, or soft taco
A frozen banana or ice cream
Cause it’s only a dehydrated delusion
Just a feverish daydream
and you’re all
(Choreographed section)
Outstretched arm
Crawling on your knees
Stare into the sun begging for “water, please!”
Grab you throat
Smack your lips
Point your sunburnt trembling fingertips
Ass out
Shake your hips
Now you’re doin the Aquapocalypse (repeats 3X)
Now you’re doin the Aquapocalypse—-
Now The USA should just invade Alaska
Blast apart the glaciers
Harvest all we need
Icebergs on a train to Fresno
Just for growin raisins, watering our weed
Slush for makin Slurpees, suds for washing cars
Puddles for our driveways, ice cubes for our bars
Flushing down our toilets, overwatering our lawns
Cleaning out our ears, filling up our bongs
Brewing crafty beers as Aquapocalypse nears
Or Ice cubes just sold separately as Alaskan souvenirs
I guess we had a good run
I know I had a lot of fun
Driving my truck around playing shows for everyone
So apologies to the children
You should have been born sooner
Before you even got to play, the game was done
(Chorus 1 and 2, transitions into “Not St Thomas” Aquapocacalypso.)
When you come to the realization
It’s the end of our civilization
When you connect the dots
Aquapocalypse, that’s the word

My name is Brian Kenney Fresno, and I have this super fun solo ROCK show
where I sing modern TALES of urban
legends and epics of the absurd- in a
sing along format, mostly about Fresno Ca, my home town, and everytime I say
"Fresno", everybody eats the raisins and says "WHOOO!" in a group
experience.
It's really fun!
Everybody laughs a lot!...more
