TEN PINS IN THE SKY
From the film "Listen, Darling" (1938)
(Joseph McCarthy / Milton Ager)

Judy Garland, Walter Pidgeon, Mary Astor (Film Soundtrack) - 1938
Judy Garland with the Harry Sosnik Orch. - 1938


Did you ever wonder why in thunder
Thunder comes in spring
Once upon a time it seems
All the world was wrapped in dreams
Playful little fellas, so they tell us
Said let's have our fling
Spring is in the air you know
It's time to wake `em up below, so

When the thunder starts to thunder
Don't run home and cry
They're playing ten pins in the sky

Little fellas way up yonder
Make the rain drops smile
While rolling bowling ten pins in the sky

The world will wear a new bonnet
Daffodils on it
Thanks to the skies above
Thunder and showers
Wake up the flowers
Where there are flowers there must be love.

So laugh at raindrops
Laugh at thunder
Clouds will soon roll by
They're playing ten pins in the sky

(Orchestral Break)

The world will wear a new bonnet
Daffodils on it
Thanks to the skies above
Thunder and showers
Wake up the flowers
Where there are flowers there must be love.

So laugh at raindrops
Laugh at thunder
Clouds will soon roll by
They're playing ten pins in the sky
