Rain Rain Go Away

Rain, rain, go away, Come again another day, Little children want to play, Rain, rain, go away! Sun, sun, come out bright, Fill our world with golden light, Make our happy day so right, Sun, sun, shine so bright! Clouds, clouds, drift on by, Floating high up in the sky, Let the blue peek through and fly, Clouds, clouds, wave goodbye! Wind, wind, blow so free, Dance around for you and me, Shake the leaves upon the tree, Wind, wind, wild and free! Birds, birds, sing your song, Tweet and chirp the whole day long, Join our happy singing song, Birds, birds, sing along! Flowers, flowers, lift your heads, Growing tall in garden beds, Show your yellows, pinks, and reds, Flowers, flowers, bloom instead! Rainbow, rainbow, paint the sky, Colors bright that make us sigh, Red and orange way up high, Rainbow, rainbow, say hello! Children, children, come and play, Now we have a sunny day, Run and jump and laugh today, Children, children, hip hooray!
