Pennies from Heaven (Live At Carnegie Hall, New York 1984)

Back to the Basie Album the first one we did with, with Bill Basie
An, an arrangement by Quincey Jones, song by Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen

Every time it rains, it rains
Pennies from Heaven
Don't you know every cloud contains
Pennies from Heaven

You find your fortunes falling
All over the town
Be sure that your umbrella
Is upside down

Trade them for a package of
Sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You gotta have some showers

And when you hear it thunder
Don't run under the tree
There'll be pennies from Heaven
For you and me
Yeah jump up over that thing, hit it

I was sayin' a minute ago
Every time it rains babe, it's gonna rain
Pennies from Heaven
Don't you know that each cloud contains
Pennies from Heaven

You find your fortunes falling
All over the town
Be sure, you better be sure that your umbrella
Is layin' out there and it's upside down

Trade them for a package of
Lots of sunshine and flowers
If you want all those things that you love babe
You just have to have showers

And when you hear it thunder
Don't run under the tree
There'll be pennies from Heaven
For you and me

For you and
For you and
For you and
Me
