Lyrics

Drip, drip, drop, lit tle A pril show er, beat ing a tune as you fall all a round.

Drip, drip, drop, lit tle A pril show er, what can com pare with your beau ti ful sound?

Drip, drip, drop, when the sky is cloud y, your pret ty mu sic can bright en the day.

Drip, drip, drop, when the sun says “How dy,” you say “Good bye” right a way.

Drip, drip, drop, lit tle A pril show er, beat ing a tune ev ’ry where that you fall.

Drip, drip, drop, lit tle A pril show er, I’m get ting wet and I don’t care at all.

Drip!

Drop!

Drip!

Drop!

I’ll nev er be a fraid

of a good lit tle gay lit tle A pril ser e nade.
