Scratch my back with a lightnin' bolt
Thunder rolls like a bass drum note
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band
We all fell down from the Milky Way
Hangin' round here till Judgement Day
Heaven only knows who's in command
Chorus:
Barefoot children in the rain
Got no need to explain
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain
It's always understood by those who play the game
Barefoot children in the rain
Show me yours and I'll show you mine
Take me back to days full of monkey shines
Bouncin' on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun
Keep your raft from the river boat
Fiction over fact always has my vote
And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been
Chorus:
Barefoot children in the rain
Got no need to explain
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain
It's always understood by those who play the game
Barefoot children in the rain
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la laa
Barefoot children in the rain
Scratch my back with a lightnin' bolt
Thunder rolls like a bass drum note
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band
The sky turns blue and the sun appears
But the question's still what are we doin' here?
I don't think the answer's close at hand
Chorus:
Barefoot children in the rain
Got no need to explain
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain
It's always understood by those who play the game
Barefoot children in the rain
In the rain. In the rain
