One dark and stormy night
Big John was feeling blue
Ain’t he didn’t seem right
So he didn’t know just what to do
I said do please tell me
Ain’t you satisfied
He looked around so pitiful
And to me he replied
Keeps on raining
Look how it’s raining
Daddy he can’t make no time
Wind keeps blowing
Cold wind’s blowing
Soon I’ll findIn the winter time
When it starts to snow
I know Billie
You’ve got to have some dough
Keeps on raining
Look how it’s raining
Daddy he can’t make no time(bridge)
Ain’t the rain just beautiful
Some people say
But I’d rather see it
In a fine movie play
Keeps on raining
Look how it’s raining
Your Daddy he can’t make no time
No Daddy he can’t make no time
