Oh, Katrina, why you gotta be mean?
You stole my heart way down in New Orleans
I can't believe what I saw on the tv screen
Oh, Katrina, why can't you be serene?

Oh, Katrina (oh, Katrina)
Oh, Katrina (oh, Katrina)
(Oh, Katrina) why you gotta be mean?
(Oh, Katrina) why you gotta be?

Oh, Katrina, why you gotta be mean?
You stole my heart way down in New Orleans
I can't believe what I saw on the tv screen
Oh, Katrina, why can't you be serene?

Oh, Katrina (oh, Katrina)
Oh, Katrina (oh, Katrina)
(Oh, Katrina) why you gotta be mean?
(Oh, Katrina) why you gotta be?

Oh, Katrina (oh, Katrina)
Oh, Katrina (oh, Katrina)
Oh, Katrina (oh, Katrina)
Oh, Katrina, oh,
(Oh, Katrina) why you gotta be mean now?
(Oh, Katrina) why you gotta be mean?
(Oh, Katrina) oh, why you gotta be mean now?
(Oh, Katrina) oh, Katrina, no
Oh, Katrina, no
Why you gotta be mean now?
Why you gotta be mean?
Oh, why you gotta be mean now?
