Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
April showers, overhead
Offer me a chance
To protect her from the rain
And cultivate romance
It’s an opportunity
Something to enjoy
Helter, skelter, fly for shelter
I’m a lucky boy
Chorus
Rain, let us cuddle while the rain
Pitter patters on the pane
And we’re alone
A chance to while away
A dreamy afternoon
A lovely peaceful afternoon
No one can see us
Rain, it’s so cosy in the rain
There’s no reason to complain
If she’s with you
To hold her hand and then
It’s ten to one you’ll kiss her
In the rain, rain, rain
