Don't let the rain get you down

I was sitting picking on a ragtime tune

Said No cryin' on a rainy afternoon

(Lemme tell ya)

Crazy is the way you're gonna be, givin' folks the opportunity

To-ooh blow your mind

Turn your head around

Don't let the rain bring you down

(From the top now, and from the bottom now)

People get happy whistlin' the melody

Because happy is the only way to be

Crazy is the way you're gonna be, givin' folks the opportunity

To-ooh blow your mind

Turn your head around

Don't let the rain, don't let the rain bring you down

(Take it, rain)

Well, I'm goin'. Won't you come along? (Come along with me. Come along mama.)

Yeah, I'm goin'. won't you come along and see?

(Ah, Won't you come along and see?)

Crazy is the way you're gonna be, givin' folks the opportunity

To-ooh blow your mind

Turn your head around

Don't let the rain, don't let the rain bring you down

(Blow your mind

Move your cane

Looks like he would

If the room was peanut butter, we'd be sticking by each other.)
