Scratch my back with a lightning boltThunder rolls like a bass
drum noteThe sound of the weather is heaven's rag time
bandWe all fell down from the milky wayHanging round here
'till judgment dayHeaven only knows who's in
commandChorusBarefoot children in the rainGot no need to
explainWe'd be swinging on a ball and chainIt's always
understood by those who play the gameBarefoot children in the
rainShow me yours and I'll show you mineTake me back to
days full with monkey shine'sBouncing on a bubble full of
trouble in the summer sunKeep your raft from the
riverboatFiction over fact always has my voteAnd wrinkles only
go where the smiles have beenChorusBarefoot children in the
rainGot no need to explainWe'd be swinging on a ball and
chainIt's always understood by those who play the
gameBarefoot children in the rainla la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la laBarefoot children in the rainScratch my back
with a lightning boltThunder rolls like a bass drum noteThe
sound of the weather is heaven's rag time bandThe sky turns
blue and the sun appearsBut the question's still "what are
we doing here?"I don't think the answer's close at
handChorusBarefoot children in the rainGot no need to
explainWe'd be swinging on a ball and chainIt's always
understood by those who play the gameBarefoot children in the
rainin the rainin the rain
