Everytime my ship comes in
A hurri - cane blows it out again
Stormy weather seems to hang around my door
My sweet bird of paradise
Flew the coop on me last night
Oh? And everytime it rains Lord, don?t it pour
I got a letter from the IRS? They said ?Son you?re in a hell of a mess??
?Our computer shows you owe ten-thousand more?
Well that machine?s made a bad mistake
?Coz that?s more than this poor boy makes
Oh? And everytime it rains Lord, don?t it pour
Every time it rains? well I just washed my car
The whole neighbourhood goes swimmin? in my front yard
Well? my mother in law says she?s stayin? three weeks more
Oh? And everytime it rains Lord, don?t it pour
Just got my car out of the shop
Two blocks down the street it stops
I went to use the telephone at the grocery store
I walked back to my Chevrolet? But they?d towed that sucker away
Oh? And everytime it rains Lord, don?t it pour
Every time it rains? well I just washed my car
The whole neighbourhood goes swimmin? in my front yard
Well? my mother in law says she?s stayin? three weeks more
Oh? And everytime it rains Lord, don?t it pour
E B(((STOP))) E
