Standin' in the rain and ain't a drop fell on me 
Standin' in the rain and ain't a drop fell on me 
My clothes is all wet but my flesh is as dry as can be 
It can rain all day, I ain't got no place to go 
It can rain all day, I ain't got no place to go 
Because it's cold outside in that ice and snow 
If it rains five days that won't give me no blues 
If it rains five days that won't give me no blues 
I've got my raincoat and hat, umbrella, boots and shoes 
Rain, rain, rain don't rain on me all day 
Rain, rain, rain don't rain on me all day 
'Cause if I get too wet I've got to go into the house and stay
