Drip Drip Drop Little April Showers

We've just lived through two whole days without a drop of rainfall in our Derbyshire valley. This feels miraculous. Every towel and tea towel in the house has been washed and line dried, every stitch of bed linen stripped and laundered. My life has been lived in a Persil advert; lines and lines of rectangular laundry. And since only the mad, bad and the reckless iron towels and bed linens, no ironing! This sunshine will come to an end tomorrow, when severe weather warnings predict heavy rainfall all day; just what you want on the day every school in the nation breaks up for summer, causing the usual Friday night rush hour chaos to become lethal. So in honour of Merci Beaucoup Enfant Deux finishing the LVI, here's something beautiful from Walt Disney, the advertising guys at Vodaphone and YouTube;

Drip, drip drop

Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around

Drip, drip drop

Little April shower
What can compare
To your beautiful sound

Drip, drip drop

When the sky is cloudy
Your pretty music
Can brighten the day

Drip, drip drop
When the sky is cloudy
You come along
With a song right away

Drip, drip drop

Little April shower
Beating a tune
Everywhere that you fall

Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
I'm getting wet
And I don't care at all

Drip, drop, drip, drop

I'll never be afraid
Of a good little
Gay little April serenade
