lyrics

Well the rain has to fall 'cause we need all the water
But why's it have to fall in the middle of the day?
I prefer rain at night when it falls like it oughta
So I can hear it on the roof as I try to drift asleep

And the roof gets wet
the house gets wet
the trees get wet
the grass gets wet
the flowers gets wet
the skunk gets wet
the driveway gets wet
the window gets wet

Drops in a puddle create circles inside circles
And drops on the pavement look like little crowns
When it rains on our street, there are streams by the sidewalks
Our own personal rivers that rush into town

And the town gets wet
The streets get wet
The buildings get wet
The people get wet
The umbrellas get wet
Tips of shoes get wet
The cars get wet
The trucks get wet
The dogs get wet
The cats get wet
The birds get wet
The fish get wet
The policeman gets wet
The mailbox gets wet
The bikes get wet
The hats get wet
The kids get wet
The signs get wet
The schools get wet
The library gets wet
The stones get wet
The mountains get wet
The beaches get wet
The bridges get wet
The grave stones get wet
The squirrels get wet
The stores get wet
