Lyrics
One dark and stormy night
Big John was feeling blue
Things didn't seem right
So he didn't know just what to do
I said, "Do please tell me
Ain't you satisfied?"
He looked around so pitiful
And to me he replied
Keeps on raining
Look how it's raining
Daddy, he can't make no time
Wind keeps blowing
Cold wind's blowing
Soon I'll find
In the winter time
When it starts to snow
I know, Billy
You've got to have some dough
Keeps on raining
Look how it's raining
Daddy, he can't make no time
Ain't the rain just beautiful?
Some people say
But I'd rather see it
In a fine movie play
Keeps on raining
Look how it's raining
Your daddy, he can't make no time
No, daddy, he can't make no time
Writer(s): Spencer Williams, Max Kortlander
