Subject: Lyr Add: DON'T LET THE RAIN COME DOWN
DON'T LET THE RAIN COME DOWN (Crooked Little Man) (Ersel Hickey & Ed E. Miller) Recorded by The Serendipity Singers, 1964
CHORUS (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown There was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse They all lived together in a crooked little house
CHORUS
Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little bat Tried to fix his roof with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat
CHORUS
Now this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse They all live together in a crooked little house Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch Has a crooked roof with a crooked little patch CHORUS
CHORUS
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down My roof's got a hole in it (my roof's got a hole in it) My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
I thought this should be posted here, for the sake of....whatever. Jon Freeman deserves the credit for finding these lyrics. I'm listening to a little Tom Petty now, to banish the overdose of syrup from my brain. Doesn't this song remind you of "It's a Small World"? -Joe Offer, who admits he kinda likes this song-
