1 Patter, patter! patter, patter! Let it pour, let it pour!
Patter, patter! patter, patter! Let it roar! let it roar!
Down the steep roof let it rush,
Down the hillside let it gush;
'Tis the welcome April shower,
Bringing forth the sweet Mayflower.
2 Patter, patter! patter, patter! Let it pour, let it pour!
Patter, patter! patter, patter! Let it roar! let it roar!
Let the glancing lightning flash,
Let the pealing thunder crash;
'Tis the welcome April shower,
Bringing forth the sweet Mayflower.
3 Patter, patter! patter, patter! Let it pour, let it pour!
Patter, patter! patter, patter! Let it roar! let it roar!
Soon the clouds will burst away,
Soon will come a bright spring day.
Soon the welcome April showers,
Will bring forth the sweet Mayflowers.
