Every time my ship comes in
A hurricane blows it out again
Stormy weather seems to hang around my door
My sweet bird of paradise
Flew the coop on me last night
Ohand every time it rainslord don’t it pour
I got a letter from the i.r.s
They saidsonyou’re in a hell of a mess
Our computer shows you owe ten-thousand more
That machine’s made a bad mistake
’cause that’s more than this poor boy makes
Ohand every time it rainslord don’t it pour
Every time it rains I just wash my car
The whole neighbourhood goes
Swimmin’ in my front yard
Wellmy mother-in-law says she’s
Stayin’ three weeks more
Ohand every time it rainslord don’t it pour
Just got my car out of the shop
Two blocks down the street it stopped
I went to use the telephone at the grocery store
I walked back to my chevrolet
But they towed that sucker away
Ohand every time it rainslord don’t it pour
Every time it rains I just wash my car
The whole neighbourhood goes
Swimmin’ in my front yard
Wellmy mother-in-law says she’s
Stayin’ three weeks more
Ohand every time it rainslord don’t it pour
Wellevery time it rainslord don’t it pour
