Till the Clouds Roll By lyrics

(Verse)
[JACKIE]
It's so sad to
Think that I have had to
Drive you from your home so coolly

[GEORGE]
I'll be gaining
Nothing by remaining
What would Mrs. Grundy say?
Her conventions, kindly recollect them
We must please respect them
Duly

[JACKIE]
My intrusion needs explaining
I feel my courage waning

[GEORGE]
Please, I beg, don't mention it
I should not mind a bit
But it has started raining

(Chorus)
[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 your/my head
It is vain to remain and chatter
And to wait for a clearer sky
Helter-skelter
I/you must fly for shelter
Till the clouds roll by
(Verse 2)
[JACKIE]
What bad luck, it's
Coming down in buckets
Have you an umbrella handy?

[GEORGE]
I've a warm coat
Waterproof, a storm coat
I shall be all right, I know
Later on, too, I will ward the grippe off
With a little nip of
Brandy

[JACKIE]
Or a glass of toddy draining
You'll find that more sustaining

[GEORGE]
Don't be worried, I entreat
I've rubbers for my feet
So I don't mind it raining

(Chorus)
[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 your/my head
It is vain to remain and chatter
And to wait for a clearer sky
Helter-skelter
I/you must fly for shelter
Till the clouds roll by
