| One dark and stormy night, Bill Jones was feeling blue |
| Things didn’t seem just right, so he didn’t know just what to do |
| I said: Bill, please tell me, ain’t you satisfied? |
| He looked around so pitiful, then to me he replied |
| Keeps on a-rainin', look how it’s rainin' |
| Papa he can’t make no time |
| Wind keeps blowing, cold wind blowing |
| Soon I’ll find a southern clime |
| In the wintertime when it starts to snow |
| You know you pretty mama’s got to have some dough |
| Keeps on rainin', look how it’s rainin' |
| Papa he can’t make no time |
| Ain’t the snow just beautiful, some people say |
| But I’d rather see it in a moving picture play |
| Keeps on snowin', look how it’s snowin' |
| Papa he can’t make no time |
