Pennies From Heaven 1936

A long time ago,
a million years B.C.
The best things in life
were absolutely free.
But no one appreciated
a sky that was always blue,
and no one congratulated
a moon that was always new,
so it was planned
that they would vanish now and then
and you must pay
before you get them back again;
that's what storms were made for
and you shouldn't be afraid,

For ev'ry time it rains,
it rains pennies from heaven.
Don't you know each cloud contains
pennies from heaven.
You'll find your fortune falling
all over town.
Be sure that your umbrella
is upside down,
trade them for a package
of sunshine and flowers.
If you want the things you love
you must have showers.
So when you hear it thunder,
don't run under a tree
there'll be pennies from heaven
for you and me.

ev'ry time it rains,
it rains pennies from heaven.
Don't you know each cloud contains
pennies from heaven.
You'll find your fortune falling
all over town.
Be sure that your umbrella
is upside down,
trade them for a package
of sunshine and flowers.
If you want the things you love
you must have showers.
So when you hear it thunder,
don't run under a tree
there'll be pennies from heaven
for you and me.
