Every time my ship comes in A hurricane blows it out again Stormy weather seems to hang around my door My sweet bird of paradise Flew the coop on me last night Ohand every time it rainslord don't it pour I got a letter from the i.r.s They saidsonyou're in a hell of a mess Our computer shows you owe ten-thousand more That machine's made a bad mistake 'cause that's more than this poor boy makes Ohand every time it rainslord don't it pour Every time it rains I just wash my car The whole neighbourhood goes Swimmin' in my front yard Wellmy mother-in-law says she's Stayin' three weeks more Ohand every time it rainslord don't it pour Just got my car out of the shop Two blocks down the street it stopped I went to use the telephone at the grocery store I walked back to my chevrolet But they towed that sucker away Ohand every time it rainslord don't it pour Every time it rains I just wash my car The whole neighbourhood goes Swimmin' in my front yard Wellmy mother-in-law says she's Stayin' three weeks more Ohand every time it rainslord don't it pour Wellevery time it rainslord don't it pour
