Lyrics
Did you ever wonder, why in thunder
Thunder comes in Spring?
Once upon a time, it seems
All the world was wrapped in dreams
Playful little fellas, so they tell us
Said, “Let’s have our fling
Spring is in the air, you know
It’s time to wake ’em up, below”, So
Chorus
When the thunder starts to thunder
Don’t run home and cry
They’re playng ten pins in the sky
Little fellas, way up yonder make the raindrops fly
While bowling, rolling ten pins in the sky
The world will wear a new bonnet, daffodils on it
Thanks to the skies above
Thunder and showers, wake up the flowers
Where there are flowers, there must be love
So, laugh at raindrops! laugh at thunder
Clouds will soon roll by
They’re playing ten pins in the sky
