It isn't raining rain to me, it's raining wheat and corn;
In every jeweled drop I see new wealth upon the farm.
The falling spray persists all day and saturates the town,
It isn't raining rain to me, it's raining dollars down.

It isn't raining rain to me, but fields of waving green,
Where herds of cattle feeding may everywhere be seen
Enjoying verdant pasture, with their sleek and glossy coats,
It isn't raining rain to me, it's raining corn and oats.

It isn't raining rain to me, it's raining ease and wealth,
Contentment, joy, and happiness, and large supplies of health
To saint and sinner, great and small, who'er you chance to meet,
It isn't raining rain to me, it's raining corn and wheat.
