Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie

Weather, the weather,
It's cold or it's hot.
It always seems to be raky and rotten
On a weekend
When we've got a hot double date. (ra-da-da, ra-da-da)
Icky and sticky
And wetter than wet
On every Saturday and Sunday we get
A telephone call,
To cancel our hot double date, (ding-a-ling) (Hello?)

All our gentlemen keep cancelling out,
How they procrastinate!
Well, we're tired of our two gentlemen saying
"Wait till the sun shines, Nellie,
When the clouds go drifting by,"
And they say:
"We will be so happy, Nellie,
Don't, don't you, don't the two of you sigh,"
They continue their lie with
"Down Lover's Lane we'll wander,
Sweethearts you and I."
How dare they ask us to
"Wait till the sun shines, Nellie,
Bye and bye and bye."

You know what? So what,
The weather is damp.
Is that a reason we shouldn't
Go camping on a weekend,
When we've got a hot double date. (ding-a-ling) (Hello?)

We never thought
Two fellas would show,
Hey girls you're lookin' great (we know!)
But we just came here to
Tell you we'll have to
Wait (whaddaya mean "wait") till (whaddaya mean "what") the
sun (does it matter if the sun ain't shinin') shines, Nellie,
When (men are the sorriest lot) the clouds go
drifting (look at what big babies we've got) by
We (tellin' us that we'll be so) will be so
happy (delirious), Nellie (are you serious?),
Don't (we're only human if we sigh) you sigh (oh me, oh my)

(what a bunch of lousy lovers) Down
Lover's Lane (what a pain!) we'll wander,
(listen to them speak of you and I) Sweethearts you and I.
Can't think about you,
just wait (we won't wait till the sun shines) till
the sun shines, Nellie, (don't you know that you're)
Bye (drivin' us crazy this way) and (understand we mean what we say)
bye (don't you die, be alive,
don't be one, don't be one. Is that your...)
Down Lover's Lane we'll wander, (yippee!)
Sweethearts you and I. (yodel ay-ee-oo, yodel ay-ee-oo)
This ain't great, but wait till the sun shines, we'll be seein' you
Bye and bye (oh, wait...) and bye (yeah,
but) and (come on, wait a minute!) bye and (aw, boys!) bye.
