Every time it rains, it
rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud
contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's
fallin' all over the town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love,
you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder,
don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
for you and me
<lengthy instrumental-sax
solo and then brass>
Every time, every time it rains,
it's gonna rain pennies from heaven
Don't you know every cloud
contains lots of pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune's
fallin', baby, all over the town
Be sure, be sure that your
umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love,
you've got to have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't
run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
for you and me
