Scratch my back with a lightnin' bolt, thunder rolls like a bass drum note

                                                              
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band

                                                  
                          
We all fell down from the Milky Way, hangin' round here till Judgement Day

                                      
Heaven only knows who's in command

                                                   
Barefoot children in the rain.  Got no need to explain

                                                           
                                              
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain.  It's always understood by those who
plays the game

                             
Barefoot children in the rain

                                                      
                                  
Show me yours and I'll show you mine, take me back to days full of monkey
shines

                                                                   
Bouncin' on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun

                                             
                           
Keep your raft from the river boat, fiction over fact always has my vote

                                                            
And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been

                                                   
Barefoot children in the rain.  Got no need to explain

                                                            
                                            
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain.  It's always understood by those who
play the game

                              
Barefoot children in the rain

                                                 
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la laa

                              
Barefoot children in the rain

                                                                       
Scratch my back with a ligtnin' bolt, thunder rolls like a bass drum note

                                                              
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band

                                                                  
                                  
The sky turns blue and the sun appears, but the question's still what are we
doin' here?

                                             
I don't think the answer's close at hand

                                                   
Barefoot children in the rain.  Got no need to explain

                                                            
                                            
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain.  It's always understood by those who
play the game

                              
Barefoot children in the rain.


In the rain.   In the rain.
