[VIVIAN & SNOOKIE] There's a big rain a-comin' [FILE, spoken] That sounds like— [H.C., spoken] Thunder! [CLARENCE & REV. CLARK] There's a big rain a-comin' [JIM, spoken] Lightning! [H.C., spoken] Lightning! [MEN & FILE, spoken] There's a big rain a-comin' There's a big rain a-comin' (Look at it) [ENSEMBLE & FILE, spoken] There's a big rain (It's gonna rain!) [ENSEMBLE & JIM, spoken] Here the rain comes (He said twenty-four hours!) [MEN & JIM, spoken] When the rain comes (He said twenty-four hours!) [WOMEN] When the rain comes [MEN & LIZZIE, spoken] When the rain comes (It's gonna rain) [ENSEMBLE & LIZZIE, spoken] When the rain comes! (Ha ha, it's gonna rain!) [Suddenly STARBUCK stands on the top of the bandstand again, with a look of glory on his face.] [STARBUCK, spoken] Lizzie, for the first time in my life—rain! Jimmy, gimme back my hundred dollars So long, beautiful! [COMPANY] It's gonna rain all through the mornin' It's gonna rain all through the night It's gonna rain all day tomorrow And Lord God Almighty, now won't that be a sight There's cotton out there that'll grow There're rivers that'll overflow There's dying cattle that'll rise right up and live (That'll rise right up and live) [WOMEN] It's gonna rain a month of Sundays! [MEN & WOMEN] Gonna rain both day and night (Gonna rain both day and night) Gonna rain with all its might (Gonna rain with all its might) Gonna rain if you just let him do his Cumulo, cumulo-nimbo (Rain) Gonna rain (Gonna rain) Gonna rain (Gonna rain) Gonna rain (Gonna rain) Gonna rain [COMPANY] Today! [TOWNSPEOPLE hoot and holler in celebration.]
