Gotta Have Rain (Gorme Eydie )

If you didn't have rain Then you couldn't have flowers You couldn't have flowers If you didn't have showers Nowhere to swim There'd be no babbling brook There'd be no fish to catch On the end of a hook You couldn't wash your hands and face You'd be as black as coal All day you'd face the barren waste Looking for a water hose So you gotta have rain Every now and then To make the whole world shine Then every day will turn out fine Okay kids, let's see now Oh, if you didn't have rain You wouldn't have (ice cream!) If you didn't have rain You wouldn't have (a bat!) If you didn't have rain Then you couldn't have (fishes!) And you couldn't have (a swim!) If you didn't have rain You'd be so awfully dirty You'd be as black as ink All day you'd face the barren waste Looking for a nice cool drink So you gotta have rain Every now and then To make the whole world shine Then every day will turn out fine Let's really hear it this time! If you didn't have rain Then you couldn't have flowers You couldn't have flowers If you didn't have showers Nowhere to swim There'd be no babbling brook There'd be no fish to catch On the end of a hook You couldn't wash your hands and face You'd be as black as ink All day you'd face the barren waste Looking for a nice cool drink So you gotta have rain Every now and then To make the whole world shine Then every day will turn out fine!
