Lyrics

Long, long time ago
When people lived out in the cold
Some wondered why rain poured down from the sky
Elaborate stories were told
Today, there are some things we know
Where the rain comes from and then where it goes
But 'how?' and 'where?' are much different questions
Some things just can't be controlled
So, how do you know if it's going to rain?
Well, the sky may turn dark and the clouds become grey
But until water falls on your windowpane
You don't know if it's going to rain
Cars might lie down under macro skies
Some birds go quiet when males can't abide
But until these old clouds have themselves a good cry
You don't know if it's going to rain
Then it's splish, splash, drip, drop, drip
Splish, splash, drip, drop, drip
Tap, tap, a-tapping and pillar pattering
Some people, they like to prepare
Umbrellas and raincoats to wear
It's okay to try to keep yourself dry
You might have good reasons to care
If you're carrying a stack of precious papers
If you're all dressed up in your fancy clothes
If you're going to the state fair
To ride a rollercoaster
If you've got to be out all day in the storm
If there's nowhere you really have to be
Mighty puddles are for jumping in
Lada dot D
In yellow galoshes or just your bare feet
Would you like to go out in the rain?
While it's splish, splash, drip, drop, drip
Splish, splash, drip, drop, drip
Tap, tap, a-tapping and pillar pattering
Well, you can clean your clothes later
And dry out your shoes
But it's raining right now
And there's no time to lose
So I'd like to go out in the rain
Since people were people
It's all been the same
And I'd like to go out in the rain
