Precipitation (Anticipation, Carly Simon)

It's an overcast sort of day here. Hasn't rained yet, but I suspect it will at any moment, so this is my response to my dad's request to write a parody of Anticipation. I guess I've got rain on the brain...

Precipitation

We can never know what weather's gonna come
But we have weathermen anyway.
And I wonder if rain's coming from those clouds.
Will I suffer any showers today?

Precipitation, precipitation
Is makin' me wet.
I like clear days better.

And I tell you how queasy the forecast makes me feel
And how lightning causes me to flee.
Will I, I be forced to stay up through the night
Glumly thinkin' about how fun the sun would be?

Precipitation, precipitation
Is makin' me wet.
I like clear days better.

Now tomorrow we might have stormy weather.
How I wish that I could just change nature's ways!
But I can't, and there is no way to learn how.
I guess I'll have to get used to rainy days.

These are the rainy days.
I guess I'll have to get used to rainy days.
These are the rainy days.
These are the rainy days.
These are the rainy days.
These are the rainy days.
