Rain is Dry
Put down your umbrella child
For this rain is dry
Shake off your raincoat
And look up toward the sky
Dark clouds scramble
Across the great big blue
Out down your umbrella
No rain is coming through
Loud - Rumbling thunder crashes
Garden's quench their thirst
Lightnig flashes, crackles
The heavens saw it first
The Earth is sodden underfoot
Puddles pool in drives
Rivers overflow their banks
Saturation thrives
Put down your umbrella child
For this rain is dry
With your yellow raincoat sleeve
Spread your wings and fly
Your webfoot ducky rubber boots
Won't leak because their new
Put down your umbrella
No rain is coming through
Swift breezes blow the clouds away
Sun leaks through shafts of yellow
Raindrops scatter from treetops
Like melting cubes of Jello
Colors in a rainbow
A true kaleidoscope
Promises of things to come
Joy and love and hope
Mother calls out from the doorway
"Dinnertime, Sweet Sue"
Hang up your raincoat and umbrella
No more rain is coming through.
Out down your umbrella, child
For this rain is dry
Shake off your raincoat
And look toward the sky
Put down your umbrella, child
For this rain is dry
with your yellow raincoat and sleeves
Spread your wings and fly.
