Till The Clouds Roll By Lyrics

Performed by June Allyson, Ray MacDonald and Chorus)

Verse 1
[she]
I'm so sad to think that I had to
Drive you from your home so coolly.

[he]
I'd be gaining nothing by remaining,
What would Missus Grundy say?
Her conventions, kindly recollect them!
We must please respect them duly.

[she]
My intrusion needs explaining;
I felt my courage waning.
Please, I beg don't mention it!
I should not mind a bit,
But it has started raining.

Refrain:

[both]
Oh, the rain comes a pitter, patter,
And I'd like to be safe in bed.
Skies are weeping, while the world is sleeping,
Trouble heaping on our head. Jerome Kern - Till The Clouds Roll By - http://motolyrics.com/jerome-kern/till-the-clouds-roll-by-lyrics.html
It is vain to remain and chatter,
And to wait for a clearer sky,
Helter skelter, I must fly for shelter
Till the clouds roll by.

Verse 2

[she]
What bad luck, It's coming down in buckets;
Have you an umbrella handy?

[he]
I've a warm coat, waterproof, a storm coat,
I shall be alright, I know.
Later on, too, I will ward the grippe off,
With a little nip of brandy.

[she]
Or a glass of toddy draining,
You'd find that more sustaining.
Don't be worried, I entreat,
I've rubbers for my feet,
So I don't mind it raining.

[both]
Repeat Refrain
