I wrote this song in August and September 2024 inspired by some rather heavy rain that we enjoyed during that time.
When cats and dogs fall from the sky
And you don't know the reason why
Don't you worry, don't you cry
It won't last forever, and that's no lie
Chorus
It's just a bit of precipitation
and not a cause for consternation
It might be a reason for celebration
And that's no exaggeration
When the heavens open and the rain pours down
Don't you fret, don't you frown
Just seek some shelter and wait awhile
And before you know it the sun will smile
When it's raining ropes or frogs or fish
And things aren't going as you'd wish
There's no need to sob and no need to sigh
Just wait it out somewhere dry
When it's pelting, tipping or bucketing down
and you feel like you're going to drown
An umbella can help to keep you dry
Unless it's windy then you might fly
Here's a recording:
It's raining cats dogs is one of the many idioms that means it's raining heavily. See more such idioms for heavy rain in many languages.
