* Bobby lived on the edge of town with his (64) Folks and his kid sister,
his (44) School was cool, and as a rule, he (64) Seldom ever missed her
But that (44) Freezing rain fell from the skies, (64) Bobby's world was turned to ice
it was a (44) Hard rain, it was the (34) Hardest rain he'd ever (44) Seen
* Bobby lived up on the seventh floor with (64) View out o'er the va-lley
there were (44) Willows by the creek out front and proud (64) Elm trees in the alley
but that (44) Freezing rain kept pouring down (64) All that beauty hit the ground
it was a (44) Hard rain, it was the (34) Hardest rain he'd ever (44) Seen
* that Hard rain kept on falling for Days and nights and days
hydro transmission towers, Toppled 'neath the weight
Hospitals and homes went dark it was a Horror to behold
Millions of canadians, (64) Caught out in the cold
* (44) Bobby's home was nothing fancy, his (64) Folks still paid a rental
they made (44) Just enough to make it by, witho-(64)-Ut much supplemental
but that (44) Freezing rain, it hung around so long, (64) Jobs were lost, and money gone
it was a (44) Hard rain, it was the (34) Hardest rain he'd ever (44) Seen
it was a Hard rain
