David Solomons - The Choir in the rain - ноты, текст песни (слова)

The Choir in the rain
 Our conductor was trying to train
 our choir to sing in the rain
 the music got wet
 so, to our great regret,
 we finally had to refrain
 so all off us went back indoors
 and we sang from our poor dripping scores
 but the audience cheered
 as we persevered
 and asked us for sev'ral encores
 it was then that we all started sneezing 
 the basses were coughing and wheezing
 the altos in harm'ny
 sniffed not very calmly 
 but the audience thought we were teasing
 the sopranos then noticed their dresses
 were shrinking and causing distresses
 the buttons they popped
 and the tenors they hopped
 as those buttons shot right past their faces
 it seemed that the choir was dissolving
 and the room started slowly revolving
 we'd all caught a cough
 it near carried us off
 as the fever we'd caught was evolving
 we finally reached the last ditty
 in that chilly and rain-sodden city
 oh we're told that in Spain
 it just rains on the plain
 but here it soaks both plain and pretty
