Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
------ trumpet ------
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me |

Just got home from Illinois
Lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down
Take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in
Pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels
A statue wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures
Dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur Victrola
List'ning to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon
Doo, doo doo
Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon
Doo, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow
Today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
Forward troubles Illinois
Lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures
Dancing on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow
Today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
