The 5th Dimension - The Rainmaker

First day in August
And the last rain was in May
When the Rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day
Said the Rainmaker to the people
"What are you prepared to pay?"
Said the Rainmaker to the people
"I'll conjure you up some rain today!"

Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady
Hundred and ten in the hot sun
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies
See how they run

So you want some rain?
I'll get you some rain!

Called down the lightning
By a mystical name
Then the Rainmaker called on the thunder, and suddenly it began to rain
When the Rainmaker passed his hat to the people
The people all turned away
And the Rainmaker's eyes and the Kansas skies
They both became a darker grey

Rain, rain, the people prayed
Don't wait for another day
Rain, rain, the people prayed
Don't wait for another day

First day in August
The last rain was in May
When the Rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day
The Rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon, and without a word he rode away
When the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter, they knew the rain had come to stay

Rain, rain, go away!
Come again another day, hey!
Rain, rain, go away!
Come again another day!

(Hey, come on, let's go now...)

Rain, rain, go away!
Come again another day, hey!
Rain, rain, go away!
Come again another day!

Rain, rain, go away!
Come again another day, hey!
Rain, rain, go away!
Come again another day!

Rain, rain, go away!
