Drip, drop
Drip, drop
The rain is coming down
Drip, drop
Drip, drop
Into the town
The crowd stands and cheers
It’s been dry for many years
The sheep drink from their trough
And the old farmers cough
They’ve had a long thirsty year
And the sheep need a shear
The flowers start to grow
And the rivers start to flow
The drought is over
And the farmer finds a lucky four-leaf clover
