|
Ev'ry time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
|
Don'tcha know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
|
(You'll find your fortune fallin' all over 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
|
|
(Ev'ry time it rains, it rains)꿖ennies from heaven
|
(Don'tcha know each cloud contains)꿖ennies from heaven?
|
(You'll find you fortune fallin') All over 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 for me
