Lyrics
Pitter patter, pitter patter
Listen to the rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter
There it goes again
It’s getting late, it’s after eight
Oh, what am I to do?
I’ve got a date and what a date
Oh, rain I’m begging you
Refrain
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
Let the moon come out and play tonight
Rain, rain, run away
Thought you took the sun away
Don’t you take my fun away tonight
If you were I, you’d want a sweet romance
If I were you, I’d give a guy a chance
Rain, rain, go away
On a sunbeam stow-away
Make a lover’s holiday tonight
