Lyrics

Raining Raining

[Verse 1]

It's sunny and dry

With not one cloud in the sky

But here inside it's raining

Lovers go for a stroll

Dressed up in summer clothes

But in here it's cold and it's raining

[Chorus]

(Said) It's raining so hard

Oh Lord, I wish it would stop

Raining, raining, raining

[Verse 2]

I heard the weatherman say

Be well, be happy and gay

But in this place it is raining

Lovers will walk around

Without one foot on the ground

But in here it's bound to be raining

[Chorus]

(Said) It's raining so hard

Oh Lord, I wish it would stop

Raining, raining, raining

[Bridge]

Raining, raining, raining

I said it's sunny and dry

Without one cloud in the sky

So tell me why it is raining

Hungry lovers out back

Intent on sharing a snack

I hear thunder crack and it's raining

[Chorus]

(Said) It's raining so hard

Oh Lord, I wish it would stop

Raining, raining, raining

(Said) It's raining so hard

Oh Lord, I wish it would stop

Raining, raining, raining

[Outro]

I said raining, raining, raining

Raining, raining, raining
