Rainy Day

Rainy Day, also known as It's a Rainy Day, is a Sesame Street song about why we need rain. Its tune loosely inspired my song The Funny Thoughts Song.

Lyrics
It's a rainy day, it's a rainy day.

It's raining outside and I can't go out and play.

Why do we need the rain anyway?

Rain falls everywhere, fills the rivers and the streams.

Flows into the reservoirs, purified and clean.

Water to do the wash, water to drink.

Water is flowing from the pipes into our sink.

It's a rainy day, it's a rainy day.

It's raining outside and I can't go out and play.

I guess I'll stay at home today.

Every living thing needs water.

Every living thing needs the rain.

Every living thing needs water.

I guess I really can't complain.

It's a rainy day, it's a rainy day.

It's raining outside and I can't go out and play.

Why do we need the rain anyway?

Water to do the dishes, water to brush your teeth.

Water to take a shower, water to wash the street.

Water for the forest, lots of thirsty roots.

Water for the gardens, flowers, vegetables and fruits.

It's a rainy day, it's a rainy day.

It's raining outside and I can't go out and play.

Don't you know I love the rain anyway?

Trivia

 * Technically, you can go out and play in the rain if you wear the right clothes and don't mind a bit of wetness.
