Barefoot Children

Lyrics

Scratch my back with a lightnin' bolt
 Thunder rolls like a bass drum note
 The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band
 We all fell down from the Milky Way
 Hangin' round here 'til the Judgement Day
 Heaven only knows who's in command
 Barefoot children in the rain
 Got no need to explain
 We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain
 It's always understood by those who play the game
 Barefoot children in the rain
 ♪
 Show me yours and I'll show you mine
 Take me back to days full of monkey shines
 Bouncin' on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun
 Keep your raft from the river boat
 Fiction over fact always has my vote
 And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been
 Barefoot children in the rain
 Got no need to explain
 We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain
 It's always understood by those who play the game
 Barefoot children in the rain
 ♪
 La, la, la, la, la...
 Barefoot children in the rain
 Scratch my back with a lightnin' bolt
 Thunder rolls like a bass drum note
 The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band
 The sky turns blue and the sun appears
 But the question's still, what are we doin' here?
 I don't think the answer's close at hand
 Barefoot children in the rain
 Got no need to explain
 We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain
 It's always understood by those who play the game
 Barefoot children in the rain
 In the rain, in the rain
