(1923)

F♯  F♯7  B  Bm  F♯  F♯7  B  F♯

        F♯(6)
Oh, the night was dark and dreary
                        C♯(7add2)
And the air was full of sleet
Well, the old man stood out in the storm
                           F♯(6)
And his shoes were full of feet

  Oh, it ain't gonna rain no mo', no mo'
  It ain't gonna rain no mo'
  But how in the world can the old folks tell
  It ain't gonna rain no mo'

Well, a butterfly flipped on wings of gold
The doombug, wings of flame
The bedbug has no wings at all
But he gets there just the same

  Refrain w/ no nmo no nmo no no nmo no no nno no mo'

Ah, moskedehe fly
Oh, moskedehe fly low
If old Mrs. Eater lied on me
He ain't gonna fly no more

  Refrain w/ we we we we we we we we

Well, a bullfrog sit on a lily pad
Looking up at the skies
All the lily pad broke and the frog fell in
Got water all in his eyes

  Refrain w/ hum hum hum  hum hum hum

Well, here's a burst about a man and a trombone
Well, a worst chew in our view
He blew, he blew, he blew
He blew, he blew, he blew

  Refrain w/ oh oh oh oh  oh o-oh oh

Well, a man laid down by a sewer, hum hum
And by the sewer he died, he died
And at the coroner's request
They called it sewer side

  Refrain w/ Oh lord, ain't gonna rain no mo'

A little black and white animal out in the woods
I said ain't that little cat pretty, hum hum
I went right over to pick it up
But it wasn't that kind of a kitty

  Refrain

   (C♯)            (F♯)
No mo', no mo', no mo'
