Performed by June Allyson, Ray MacDonald and Chorus)

Verse 1
[she]
I'm so sad to think that I had to
Drive you from your home so coolly

[he]
I'd be gaining nothing by remaining,
What would Missus Grundy say?
Her conventions, kindly recollect them!
We must please respect them duly

[she]
My intrusion needs explaining;
I felt my courage waning
Please, I beg don't mention it!
I should not mind a bit,
But it has started raining

Refrain:

[both]
Oh, the rain comes a pitter, patter,
And I'd like to be safe in bed
Skies are weeping, while the world is sleeping,
Trouble heaping on our head
It is vain to remain and chatter,
And to wait for a clearer sky,
Helter skelter, I must fly for shelter
Till the clouds roll by

Verse 2

[she]
What bad luck, It's coming down in buckets;
Have you an umbrella handy?

[he]
I've a warm coat, waterproof, a storm coat,
I shall be alright, I know
Later on, too, I will ward the grippe off,
With a little nip of brandy

[she]
Or a glass of toddy draining,
You'd find that more sustaining
Don't be worried, I entreat,
I've rubbers for my feet,
So I don't mind it raining

[both]
Repeat Refrain
