The Rainmaker

[Verse 1: Billy Davis]
First day in August
And the last rain was in May
When the Rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day
Said the Rainmaker to the people
"What are you prepared to pay?"
Said the Rainmaker to the people
"I'll conjure you up some rain today"

[Chorus: Marilyn McCoo & Florence LaRue]
90 degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady
Hundred and ten in the hot sun
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies
See how they run

[Interlude: Billy Davis]
So you want some rain?
I'll get you some rain

[Verse 2: Billy Davis]
Called down the lightning
By a mystical name
Then the Rainmaker called on the thunder
And suddenly it began to rain
When the Rainmaker passed his hat to the people
The people all turned away
And the Rainmaker's eyes and the Kansas skies
They both became a darker grey

[Chorus: Marilyn McCoo & Florence LaRue]
Rain, rain, the people prayed
Don't wait for another day
Rain, rain, the people prayed
Don't wait for another day

[Verse 3: Billy Davis]
First day in August
The last rain was in May
When the Rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day
The Rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon
And without a word he rode away
When the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter
They knew the rain had come to stay

[Chorus: Marilyn McCoo & Florence LaRue]
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day, hey
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day

[Bridge: Marilyn McCoo & Florence LaRue]
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day, hey
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day

[Outro: Marilyn McCoo & Florence LaRue]
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day, hey
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
(Rain, rain, go away)
