 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 till 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

plays 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, la la la la la, la la la la la laa

Barefoot children in the rain

Scratch my back with a ligtnin' 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.

This is what I came up with. I hope it's accurate. Any corrections are
