Lyrics:

Hello misfortune, how's my old friend "Mr. Misery"?
I've been away so long I bet you thought you've seen the last of me
I got no bed, to rest my head, no doors or walls or window pane
Now all I needed was the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain

Met a little honey at the "Buzzin' Bumble Bee Cafe", yes,  I did
One drink and all my money and that honey bee had flown away
I'm 'bout as low as I can go, I don't really mean to complain
Now all I needed was the rain, rain, rain... rain... rain
All I needed was this rain...
All I needed was the rain... um... um... um...
