Gotta Have Rain

Gotta Have Rain - Max Bygraves

If you didn't have rain

Then you couldn't have flowers

You couldn't have flowers

If you didn't have showers

Nowhere to swim

There'd be no babbling brook

There'd be no fish to catch

On the end of a hook

You couldn't wash your hands and face

You'd be as black as coal

All day you'd face the barren waste

Looking for a water hose

So you gotta have rain

Every now and then

To make the whole world shine

Then every day will turn out fine

If you didn't have rain

You wouldn't have (ice cream )

If you didn't have rain

Then you wouldn't have (a bat )

If you didn't have rain

Then you couldn't have (fishes )

No you couldn't have (a swim )

If you didn't have rain

You'd be so awfully dirty

You'd be as black as ink

All day you'd face the barren waste

Looking for a nice cool drink

So you gotta have rain

Every now and then

To make the whole world shine

Then every day will turn out fine

If you didn't have rain

Then you couldn't have flowers

You couldn't have flowers

If you didn't have showers

Nowhere to swim

There'd be no babbling brook

There'd be no fish to catch

On the end of a hook

You couldn't wash your hands and face

You'd be as black as coal

All day you'd face the barren waste

Looking for a water hot

So you gotta have rain

Every now and then

To make the whole world shine

Then every day will turn out fine
