'Twas a rainy day in the month of May
and the rain came down in the usual way,
up in a tree two lovebirds were
a little he and a smaller her
up on a twig there side by side
he ask'd her if she'd be his bride;
but just what that shebird replied
I really cannot say.
For it was

Raining, raining,
two little birds of a feather,
sat there on a twig together,
and they didn't mind the weather,
tho' 'twas raining, raining,
trees made a shelt'ring above,
but what's it matter if the rain
comes pitter patter,
when you're with the girl you love?

Neath a neigh'bring tree
was a he and she;
there they watch'd the two little birds you see;
The boy said: "Tho' it's quite absurd
I almost envy that small he bird,
for I am sure she's named the day;
If I ask'd you
what would you say;
She answered: "If you ask, I may say,
two is company when it is

Raining, raining,
two little birds of a feather,
sat there on a twig together,
and they didn't mind the weather,
tho' 'twas raining, raining,
trees made a shelt'ring above,
but what's it matter if the rain
comes pitter patter,
when you're with the girl you love?
