In the middle of a dusty day

GDFC (repeat through out)
And they were so afraid
GDFC
Well if the rain continued, surely,they would lose all their crops
GDFC
and in the ensuing flood they would lose their very farms
GDFC
and they were so afraid.
GDFC
What can they do, they said
GDFC
We'll have to get some airplanes in here
GDFC
We'll get 5 or 6 of those big bombers and will spray the clouds.
GDFC
We'll use some of those fine chemicals they have on the market now.
GDFC
So up went 5 big airplanes and they dumped phosphates
GDFC
and they dumped octoates, and they dumped all kinds of ates on the clouds
GDFC
but nothing happened, except that the clouds got a little darker
GDFC
and it rained a little harder.
GDFC
And so, in a fit of panic, the people got together again and said
GDFC
We've got to do something to stop this rain
GDFC
and a little man said, well, why don't you sing?
GDFC
And they said, well ok, we sing in church on Sundays
GDFC
I suppose it would be alright to sing here too so they got together
GDFC
and said, ok, let's do it but, what should we sing?
GDFC
And the young man said, well, if you want the rain to go away
GDFC
I'd suggest you sing, rain rain, go away, come again another day
GDFC
or something like that and eventually you will just disburse the clouds.
GDFC
So, they said, we'll give it a try.
GDFC
But you must remember that Kansas is a very uptight little community
GDFC
and so the result when all of these people got together to sing
GDFC
was that no one wanted anyone else to know that it was going on.
GDFC
So, it sounded kinda' like, uh
GDFC
(muffled) rain rain oh won't ya go away, come again another day.
GDFC
No spirit in it at all and the little man said
GDFC
"Now if you really believe in something, it's gonna work out for you
GDFC
but if you don't believe in it
GDFC
it's not gonna work at all, so ya gotta' sing it you know!"
GDFC
And they all said, well ok
I suppose we can do it.
GDFC
It was very quiet at first, you could hardly hear it.
GDFC
It was just a little: rain rain go away, come again another day
GDFC
rain rain go away, come again another day
GDFC
Then a few more people heard it
GDFC
rain rain go away, come again another day
GDFC
then a few more joined in
GDFC
rain rain go away come again another day.
OutroGD

FC
