Lyrics

1. Love comes along like a popular song
   Anytime or anywhere at all.
   Rain or sunshine, spring or fall
   You never know when it may say hello
   In a very unexpected place
   For example, take my case

Chorus
It was a lucky April shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five and ten cent store.
The rain continued for an hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
In a five and ten cent store
She was selling china
And when she made those eyes
I kept buying china
Until the crowd got wise
Incidently
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby
From the five and ten cent store

2. Love used to be quite a stranger to me
   Didn’t know a sentimental word
   Thoughts of kissing seemed absurd
   Then came a change, and you may think it strange
   But the world became a happy tune
   Since that April afternoon
