Flying Robert

Lyrics

When the rain comes tumbling down In the country or the town All good little girls and boys Stay at home and mind their toys Robert thought; "No, when it pours It's better out of doors." Rain it did And in a minute Bob was in it; Here you see him, silly fellow Underneath his red umbrella! What a wind! Oh! How it whistles Through the trees and flowers and thistles! Oh! It has caught his red umbrella! Now look at him, silly fellow Up he flies to the skies! No one heard his screams and cries! Through the clouds the rude wind bore him And his hat flew on before him; And the hat went up so high That it really touch'd the sky Soon they got to such a height They were nearly out of sight No one ever yet could tell Where they stopp'd or where they fell Only this one thing is plain Bob was never seen again...
