a long time ago a million years b c the best things in life were absolutely free but no one appreciated a sky that was always blue and no one congratulated moon that was always new so it was planned that they would vanish now and then and you must pay before you get them back again that s what storms were made for but you shouldn t be afraid for every time it rains it rains pennies from heaven don t you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven you ll find your fortune s falling all over town make sure that your umbrella is upside down trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers cause if you want the things you love you must have showers so if you hear it thunder don t run under a tree there ll be pennies from heaven for you and me so if you hear it thunder don t run under a tree there ll be pennies from heaven for you and me there ll be pennies from heaven for you and me1
