Rain, Rain
Rain, rain,
Go away,
Come again
Another day;
Little Johnny
Wants to play.
Down the Rain Falls
Down the rain falls,
Up crackles the fire,
Tick-tock goes the clock
Neither lower nor higher –
Such soft little sounds
As sleepy hens make
When they talk to themselves
For company’s sake.
Rain
The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
Rain in the Night
Raining , raining,
All night long;
Sometimes loud, sometimes soft,
Just like a song.
There’ll be rivers in the gutters
And lakes along the street.
It will make our lazy kitty
Wash his little dirty feet.
The roses will wear diamonds
Like kings and queens at court;
But the pansies all get muddy
Because they are so-short.
I’ll sail my boat tomorrow
In wonderful new places,
But first I’ll take my watering pot
And wash the pansies’ faces.
Drums of the Rain
The drum is our big windowpane!
The drumsticks are the drops of rain
Rat-a-tat--tat!Rat-a-tat--tat!
Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The drums, the drums are beating,
And filling all the room!
“Boom, boom, boom!
Rat-a-tat--tat! Rat-a-tat--tat!
Boom!”
The snare drums are the raindrops
That rattle in the room;
The thunder is the big, round drum
That says, “Boom! Boom!”
We’re happy when a rain storm comes,
Because it brings the drums, THE DRUMS!
“Pitter patter!” falls the rain
On the schoolroom windowpane.
Such a plashing! such a dashing!
Will it e’er be dry again?
Down the gutter rolls a flood,
And the crossing’s deep in mud,
And the puddles! oh, the puddles
Are a sight to stir one’s blood!
Chorus.
But let it rain
Tree toads and frogs,
Muskets and pitchforks,
Kittens and dogs!
Dash away! plash away!
Who is afraid?
Here we go,
The Umbrella Brigade!
Pull the boots up to the knee!
Tie the hoods on merrily!
Such a hustling! such a jostling!
Out of breath with fun are we.
Clatter, clatter, down the street,
Greeting every one we meet,
With our laughing and our chaffing,
Which the laughing drops repeat.
Chorus.
So let it rain
Tree toads and frogs,
Muskets and pitchforks,
Kittens and dogs!
Dash away! plash away!
Who is afraid?
Here we go,
The Umbrella Brigade!
Singing
Of speckled eggs the birdie sings
And nests among the trees;
The sailor sings of ropes and things
In ships upon the seas.
The children sing in far Japan,
The children sing in Spain;
The organ with the organ man
Is singing in the rain.
1. A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.
Said the flea, “Let us fly!”
Said the fly, “Let us flee!
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
2. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if
a woodchuck could chuck wood.

When One-One won one race,

on grass which grows

back blue balloons
from the big bazaar.

plaice is a place where a
plaice is pleased to be placed.
