As recorded by RUTH ETTING:

Hey, young fella
Better close your old umbrella
Have a glorious day 
Throwing rubbers away
'Cause it ain't gonna rain no more

Say, young fella
Put your raincoat in the cellar
While you're tying your tie
Take a peak at the sky
Well, it ain't gonna rain no more

Look at that brave little rainbow
Hiding those clouds up above
I'm in the rain, Mister Rainbow
With a horseshoe in my glove

Hey, young fella
Better close your old umbrella
Let's go out in the sun
Start havin' fun
'Cause it ain't gonna rain no more

You had nothing to sing about
The days were dreary and wet
Had no sunshine to sing about
And lots of rain to forget

You wore your flannels and stayed indoors
Like a birdy might do
How you shivered and prayed indoors
Till one day I said to you

Hey, young fella
Better close your old umbrella
Have a glorious day 
Throwing rubbers away
'Cause it ain't gonna rain no more

Say, young fella
Put your raincoat in the cellar
While you're tying your tie
Take a peak at the sky
Well, it ain't gonna rain no more

Look at that brave little rainbow
Hiding those clouds up above
I'm in the rain, Mister Rainbow
With a horseshoe in my glove

Say, young fella
Better close your old umbrella
Let's go out in the sun
Start havin' fun
'Cause it ain't gonna rain no more

As recorded by RUDY VALLEE:


I had nothing to sing about
The days were sloppy and wet
Had no sunshine to sing about
And lots of rain to forget

Wore my flannels and stayed indoors
Like a bird in a tree
How I shivered and prayed indoors
Till one day you yelled at me

Hey, young fella
Better close your old umbrella
Have a glorious day 
Throwing rubbers away
'Cause it ain't gonna rain no more

Say, young fella
Put your raincoat in the cellar
While you're tying your tie
Take a peak at the sky
Well, it ain't gonna rain no more

Look at that brave little rainbow
Hiding those clouds up above
I'm in the rain, Mister Rainbow
With a horseshoe in my glove

Hey, young fella
Better close your old umbrella
Give your trousers a hitch
'Cause we're going to be rich
And it ain't gonna rain no more
