The Choir in the rain Our conductor was trying to train our choir to sing in the rain the music got wet so, to our great regret, we finally had to refrain so all off us went back indoors and we sang from our poor dripping scores but the audience cheered as we persevered and asked us for sev'ral encores it was then that we all started sneezing the basses were coughing and wheezing the altos in harm'ny sniffed not very calmly but the audience thought we were teasing the sopranos then noticed their dresses were shrinking and causing distresses the buttons they popped and the tenors they hopped as those buttons shot right past their faces it seemed that the choir was dissolving and the room started slowly revolving we'd all caught a cough it near carried us off as the fever we'd caught was evolving we finally reached the last ditty in that chilly and rain-sodden city oh we're told that in Spain it just rains on the plain but here it soaks both plain and pretty
