Jag gör som Dean

Four to one

“I’m sorry,” said Mary, “it’s rainy to-day;

When I want it pleasant it’s always the way;

It rains, rains, rains!”

“To-day I can finish my book,” said Dean;

“It’s the jolliest one I ever have seen;

For it rains, rains, rains!”

“It will fill up the swimming-hole, p’r’aps,” said Ted.

“I can dive like a frog if it’s over my head;

Glad it rains, rains, rains!”

“To-day,” said Herr Steuber, “my plants I’ll set out;

I feared they would die because of the drought.

Ha! it rains, rains, rains!”

“The weather’ll be cooler, and Aunt Polly Haynes

May get over her fever,” said Lou, “if it rains—

If it rains, rains, rains!”

“I am so glad since such good can be done,”

Said Mary, her face bright as yesterday’s sun,

“That it rains, rains, rains!”
