Children talk about rain
All night long
Didn't it

Well, you read in the Good Book
You must understand
That Noah was living
As a righteous man
The Lord called Noah
And gave him a plan
Build an ark at my command

(Listen to the rain)
Hard rain
(Listen to the rain)
All day
(Listen to the rain
All night
(Listen to the rain)

Water rising in the East
And rising in the West
Men groaning in the North
Some moaning in the South

(Listen to the rain
Listen to the rain
Listen to the rain)

All day
All night

Oh-oooooo

Oh-oooooo

Just listen
How it rains
All day
All night

Water rising in the East
Water rising in the West
Men groaning in the North
Some moaning in the South

All night long

Then the Lord told Noah
To take ‘em two by two
The ox and the fox
And the kangaroo
The wicked man
If he don't be picked
Leave him there
And he might just mend

(Listen to the rain)
Hard rain
(Listen to the rain)
All day
(Listen to the rain
All night
(Listen to the rain)

Water rising in the East
Water rising in the West
Men groaning in the North
Some moaning in the South
All day
All night

Well, it rained forty days
It rained forty nights
There was no land
Down there in sight
Noah sent a dove
To find the sign
No more water
But the fire next time

(Listen to the rain)
Hard rain
