الأغاني: Soundtrack Artists. The Rain Song.

[STARBUCK]
Sodium chloride,
Pitch it up high, pitch it up high right up to the clouds!
Electrify the cold front,
Neutralize the warm front,
Magnetize occlusions in the sky!

[LIZZIE] (spoken)
In other words... bunk.

[STARBUCK] (spoken)
Lady you're right.
You know why that sounds like bunk?
Because it is bunk! Bunk and hokey-pokey!
And I tell you, I'd be ashamed to use any of those methods!

[LIZZIE] (spoken)
What methods do you use?

[STARBUCK]
My method's like my name,
It's all my very own.
You wanna hear my deal?
You only need one-hundred dollars in advance...
and in twenty-four hours,
you'll have rain.

[JIM] (spoken)
You mean it? Real rain?

[STARBUCK]
REAL RAIN.
Rain is rain, brother!
It comes from the sky!
A wetness known as water.
Aqua Pura.
Mammals drink from it.
Fish swim around in it.
Little boys wade in it.
Birds flap their wings and sing a song like-
sunrise!
WATER
I recommend it!

Cumulo!
Cumulo Nimbo!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

Oh you ask me the way I'll do it?
Well, I'll do it the way I please!
I got forty-leven different methods!
But, I might use one of these!
I might take this stick, this hickory stick,
and then I'll pick it up and pitch it high!
And then I'll shout like hell,
till I scare the hail right down from out of the sky!
Then the rain comes!
Then the rain comes!
Then the rain comes!

It's gonna rain -
All through the mornin'.
It's gonna rain -
All through the night!
It's gonna rain -
All day tomorrow!
(And Lord God Almighty, now won't that be a sight!)

There's cotton out there that'll grow!
There's rivers that'll overflow!
There is dyin' cattle that'll rise right up and live!
It's gonna rain -
A month of Sundays!
And a hundred dollars is all that ya gotta give!

There's a big rain a comin'.
There's a big rain a comin'.
Oh!

[CHORUS]
There's a big rain a comin'.
There's a big rain a comin'.
Rain!

[STARBUCK]
Well I'm talkin' about a good old testament,
Wade in the water,
Shoutin' glory!
Rain!


[CHORUS]
There's a big rain a comin'.
There's a big rain a comin'.
Rain!

[STARBUCK]
I'm talking about a take your clothes off,
Jump in the cow-tank,
Floating like a rowboat!
Rain!

[CHORUS]
There's a big rain a comin'.
There's a big rain a comin'.
Rain!

[STARBUCK]
I'm talking about a catch that catfish,
Have a little fish-fry!
Plenty of chow-chow!
Rain!

[CHORUS]
There's a big rain a comin'.
There's a big rain a comin'.
Rain!

[STARBUCK]
I'm talking about a once in a life time,
Tell your children!
Write it in the Bible!
Never forget it!
Making up stories!
Singing and dancing!
Friends and neighbors!
Gimme your hand, sister!
Gimme your hand brother!

[CHORUS]
A big rain!
A big rain!
A big rain!

[STARBUCK]
