Singin’ In The Rain (From "Little Nellie Kelly") (1940)

Have you ever suffered that horrible thing
Of having your hostess ask you to sing?
And just because you're so polite
You mumble through your teeth alright

And suddenly a deathly gloom
Descends upon the entire room
And the whispering gallery starts to ring
With, hold your hats, she's gonna sing

Well, here I am with great regret
An innocent victim of etiquette
I'm going to sing but not for long
And though it's old, it's a lovely song

Why am I smiling and why do I sing?
Why does September seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up each morning and start?
Happy and head up with joy in my heart

Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you

I'm singin' in the rain, just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come out with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singing, just singin' in the rain

I'm singin' in the rain, oh, I'm singin' in the rain
What a glor, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above
The sun's in my heart, I'm gettin' ready for love

The stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
And come out with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin', singin'

Singin' in the rain, oh, I'm singin' in the rain
I I I I I I I I'm happy again
My troubles have fled, a rainbow's ahead
I'm singin', singin', I'm singin' in the rain
