Song Lyric Sunday: Weather – ‘It’s Raining Men’

This week’s subject for Song Lyric Sunday is the broad one of weather. There’s plenty to choose from out there, but this was the first that popped into my head and now it just won’t go away. One comment on the video describes it as ‘campy post-disco at its very finest’. Difficult to argue with that.

Hi (Hi!) We’re your Weather Girls (Ah-huh)
And have we got news for you (You better listen)
Get ready, all you lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home (Alright!)

Humidity is rising (mmm rising)
Barometer’s getting low (How low, girl?) (uh-oh)
According to all sources (What sources, now?)
The street’s the place to go (We’d better hurry up)
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It’s gonna start raining men! (Start raining men)

It’s raining men! Hallelujah!
It’s raining men! Amen!
I’m gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!

It’s raining men! Hallelujah!
It’s raining men! Every specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel and rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy

I feel stormy weather moving in
About to begin (about to begin)
Hear (hear) the (the) thun (thun) der (der)
Don’t (don’t) you (you) lose (lose) your (your) head!
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
(Rip off the roof and stay in bed!)

God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel; she rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It’s Raining Men! Yeah!

Humidity is rising (Humidity is rising)
Barometer’s getting low (It’s getting low low low low)
According to all sources (According to all sources)
The street’s the place to go
‘Cause 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!
(Tall, blonde, dark and lean)
(Rough and tough and strong and mean)
She taught every angel
She rearranged the sky
Hallelujah!
