(Ahh.) Every time it rains, it rains,
Pennies from heaven.
(From heaven.)
(Ahh.) Don't you know each cloud contains,
Pennies from heaven.
(From heaven.)
(Ahh.) You'll find your fortune's falling,
(Ahh.) All over town.
(Ah-ah-ah-ahh.)
Make sure t'your umbrella,
Is upside down.
(Baby, don't'cha know...)
Trade them for a package of,
(Ahh.) Sunshine and flowers.
(Ahh.) If you want the things you love,
You must have showers.
(Ahh.) So when you hear it thunder,
Don't run under a tree.
There'll be pennies from heaven,
For you and me.

(Every time it rains, it rains, mmm,)
{Pennies from heaven.}
(Don't you know each cloud contains, mmm,)
{Pennies from heaven.}
(Ahh.) You'll find your fortune's falling,
(Ahh.) All over town.
(Ah-ah-ah-ahh.)
Make sure that your umbrella,
{Make sure your umbrella's upside...}
(Baby, don't'cha know...)
Trade them for a package of,
(Ahh.) Sunshine and flowers.
(Ahh.) If you want the things you love,
You must have showers.

(Of the clean fresh air.)
(Put a smile on your face,)
(Be a millionaire.)
(The streets outside,)
