WEASEL: This tune goes out to Nicole for putting us up, ha ha ha! And it goes like this
[SONG BEGINS]
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sun shiny day
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
Now it's gonna be a bright, bright sun shiny day
[Lead]
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is the rainbow I've been praying, praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright day
It's gonna be a bright, bright day
Sun shiny day [x3]
Sun shiny day, yeah
