Yellow mustard flowers
Sudden summer showers
Catch us all off guard
Chase us out of the yard

And it washes the chalk on the sidewalk away
And leaves a clean slate
Leaving a new place to paint
On another hopscotch day

That’s what I like about the rain
That’s what I like about the rain
That’s what I like about the rain
That’s what I like about the rain

Downpour soaks our clothes
Drips off the end of your nose
Rushing blacktop river
Right on my way home

So we race paper boats down the side of the street
Like ships sailing out to sea
Which one will win we’ll decide
When they’re swirling down the drain

Chorus

Foggy window pain
Place to write my name
Thunder makes me wait
For the sun to come out again

Chorus
