Hear the Raindrops

Lightly

1. Hear the raindrops on the roof

Pitter-patter how they fall!

See them splash along the walk.

See them dance upon the wall!

Pit-ter, pit-ter, pit-ter, pat,

Splashing here and splashing there.

Pit-ter, pit-ter, pit-ter, pat,

Raindrops dancing ev’ry where!

2. Trees enjoy a shower bath.

Pansy faces all look up.

Raindrops slide so merrily,

Down into the flower cups.

Pit-ter, pit-ter, pit-ter, pat,

Splashing here and splashing there.

Pit-ter, pit-ter, pit-ter, pat,

Raindrops dancing ev’ry where!

3. Hurry, scurry down the roof.

Jumble, tumble, comes the rain.

Trick-a-lick-a-lick-a-lick,

Drops rush down my window pane.

Pit-ter, pit-ter, pit-ter, pat,

Splashing here and splashing there.

Pit-ter, pit-ter, pit-ter, pat,

Raindrops dancing ev’ry where!
