RAIN, RAIN-RAIN, RAIN, RAIN-RAIN-RAIN,

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.
