It's Raining Men Lyrics
Alright girl we are back again
Hi! Hi! We're your weather girls and have we got news for you
Tell them girl
Get ready all you'll lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home
Humidity's rising, barometer's gettin' low
According to all sources the street's the place to go
Tonight for the first time just about half past ten
For the first time in history it's gonna start raining men
It's raining men, Hallelujah, it's raining men Amen
I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna let myself get absolutely soaking wet
It's raining men, Hallelujah it's raining men, every specimen
Tall blond dark and lean rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless mother nature
She's a single woman too
She took for the Heaven
And she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
And each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's raining men, Hallelujah, it's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah, it's raining men, Amen
It's raining, it's raining, oh it's stormy
I feel stormy weather moving in
About to begin about to begin
With the thunder don't you loose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
God bless mother nature
She's a single woman too
She took for the Heaven
And she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
Oh it's raining men, yeah
Humidity's rising, barometer's gettin' low
According to all sources the street's the place to go
Tonight for the first time just about half past ten
For the first time in history it's gonna start raining men
It's raining men, Hallelujah, it's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah, it's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah, it's raining men, Amen
