I'm A Lonesome Little Raindrop 1920 "Greenwich Village Follies of 1920"

I wonder why I'm always lonesome
and what the trouble can be,
most fellows find their mate
but it just seems that fate
has made a monkey out of me,
just like a raindrop in a cloud,
I find I'm lost whenever I am in a crowd...

I'm a lonesome little raindrop
looking for a place to fall,
the clouds are dark
but that don't matter,
for into some fair garden
I'll go pitter, patter, patter,
I hope, goodness knows,
some friendly breeze that blows,
will let me tumble down into the heart of a rose,
for I'm a lonesome little raindrop,
looking for a place to fall.

I'm a lonesome little raindrop
I'm as wet as I can be,
the girls say I'm a charming feller,
but when I come around each girl
puts up her umbrella
Girlies, Oh! so fair,
they all give me the air,
I keep on falling, falling,
but don't land anywhere
for I'm a lonesome little raindrop,
looking for a place to fall.

You've heard of Robinson Crusoe,
Well! He had nothing on me,
I'm always all alone
a sweetie of my own
would make me happy as can be.
I'm just as blue as skies above,
I'd like to find someone
to shower with my love...

I'm a lonesome little raindrop
looking for a place to fall,
the clouds are dark
but that don't matter,
for into some fair garden
I'll go pitter, patter, patter,
I hope, goodness knows,
some friendly breeze that blows,
will let me tumble down into the heart of a rose,
for I'm a lonesome little raindrop,
looking for a place to fall.

I'm a lonesome little raindrop
I'm as wet as I can be,
the girls say I'm a charming feller,
but when I come around each girl
puts up her umbrella
Girlies, Oh! so fair,
they all give me the air,
I keep on falling, falling,
but don't land anywhere
for I'm a lonesome little raindrop,
looking for a place to fall.
