A long time ago, a million years B.C
The best things in life were absolutely free
But no one appreciated a sky that was always blue
And no one congratulated a Moon that was always new

So it was planned that they must vanish now and then
And you must pay before you get them back again
That's what storms were made for
And you shouldn't be afraid

Every time it rains, it rains pennies from Heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from Heaven?
You'll find your fortune falling all over town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from Heaven for you and me

You can trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from Heaven for you and me
