Till the Clouds Roll By



[Verse]
 * (Jacky) I'm so sad to think that I have had to
 * Drive you from your home so coolly.
 * (George) I've be gaining nothing by remaining,
 * What would Missus Grundy say?


 * Her conventions, kindly recollect them!
 * We must please respect them duly.
 * (Jacky) My intrusion needs explaining:
 * I felt my courage waning.


 * (George) Please, I beg don't mention it!
 * I should not mind a bit,
 * But it has started raining.

[Refrain]
 * Oh, the rain comes pitter patter
 * And I'd like to be safe in bed.


 * Skies are weeping
 * While the world is sleeping
 * Trouble heaping
 * On your head.


 * It is vain to ramain and chatter,
 * And to wait for clearer sky


 * Helter skelter
 * I must fly for shelter
 * Till the clouds roll by.

[Verse]
 * (Jacky) What bad luck, it's coming down in buckets;
 * Have you an umbrella handy?
 * (George) I've a warm coat, water proof, a storm coat,
 * I shall be all right I know.


 * Later on, too, I will ward the grippe off,
 * With a little nip of brandy.
 * (Jacky) Or a glass of toddy draining,
 * You'd find that more sustaining.


 * (George) Don't be worried, I entreat,
 * I've rubbers for my feet,
 * So I don't mind it raining.

[Refrain]
 * Oh, the rain comes pitter patter
 * And I'd like to be safe in bed.


 * Skies are weeping
 * While the world is sleeping
 * Trouble heaping
 * On your head.


 * It is vain to ramain and chatter,
 * And to wait for clearer sky


 * Helter skelter
 * I must fly for shelter
 * Till the clouds roll by.
