[Verse 1]
One dark and stormy night
Big John was feeling blue
Things didn't seem right
So he didn't know just what to do
I said, "Do please tell me
Ain't you satisfied?"
He looked around so pitiful
And to me he replied

[Verse 2]
"Keeps on rainin'
Look how it's rainin'
Daddy, he can't make no time
Wind keeps blowing
Cold wind's blowing
Soon I'll find"

[Bridge]
"In the winter time
When it starts to snow
I know, Billy
You've got to have some dough"

[Verse 3]
"Keeps on rainin'
Look how it's rainin'
Daddy, he can't make no time"
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
"'Ain't the rain just beautiful?'
Some people say
But I'd rather see it
In a fine movie play"

[Verse 3]
"Keeps on rainin'
Look how it's rainin'
Your daddy, he can't make no time"

[Outro]
"No, daddy, he can't make no time"
