Turned on the weather man just after the news
  I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues
  He looked at the chart but he look in vain
  Heavy cloud but no rain
    Back in time with Louis XVI
  At the court of the people he was number one
  He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen
  When the king said hi to the guillotine
  The royal astrologer was run out of breath
  He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death
  He look in sky but he look in vain
  Heavy cloud but no rain
    Well the land was cracking and the river was dry
  All the crops were dying when they ought to be high
  So to save his farm from the banker's draft
  The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft
  He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night
  He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight
  He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain
  Heavy cloud but no rain
    Heavy cloud but no rain
  The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone
  The clouds won't go till their work is done
  And every morning you'll hear me pray
  If only it would rain today
    I asked my baby if there'd be some way
  She said she'd save her love for a rainy day
  I look in the sky but I look in vain
  Heavy cloud but no rain
