Rain, rain go away!

Rain, rain go away!

In danger many lives lay.

You've been conspiring with the opposition,

We've heard our administrators say.

Rain, rain go away!

Let the light come out today.

If only we could bask in it for a few hours,

Before smog paints the sky gray.

Rain, rain go away!

Riverside houses are falling like clay.

Though they ought not be where they are,

They're left undisturbed once their occupants pay.

Rain, rain go away!

Bring an end to this year's stay.

Or soon we'll have to build boat houses,

And in floating palaces will politicians stay.
