RAIN, RAIN-RAIN, RAIN, RAIN-RAIN-RAIN,
It fell all day yesterday,
It’s falling again today;
Filling the ditches and dykes in February,
Filling canals, rills, rivers and becks;
Turning puddles into ponds,
Turning ponds into lakes;
Eating away at shorelines,
As it causes waters to rise,
like ants eating into a cake.
It washes streams out of polar icecaps,
Setting glaciers free
Breaks through coastal defences
And ever expands the sea.
RAIN, RAIN-RAIN, RAIN, RAIN-RAIN-RAIN,
It drips, it leaks, it drizzles, it lashes it pours.
It takes land and makes mud,
it takes mud and makes swamp,
It takes hilltops and makes islands,
It makes landscapes into seascapes
And it will make a planet for all the whales,
From the planet of the apes.
