"If All of the Raindrops"

Summer is a great time for this song... I find it in my head more-so in the summer anyway, even though one verse is about snowflakes...

So, if you don't know this song, head over and check it out HERE.
You can also spend a buck and get it on itunes!

I was highly discouraged in looking for a good rendition of this song online...  most of them are just ridiculous; this one from a benefit that Lisa Loeb did in Seattle was the best for its musical simplicity, although we sing the verses a little differently.
Beware... there are a lot from Barney.... but heaven forbid I would ever post a link to Barney on here.... No offense intended, Barney.

Here are the lyrics:

"If All of the Raindrops" 

If all of the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops, Oh what a rain it would be!
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide and say,
"Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah!"

If all of the sunbeams were lemonade and ice cream, oh what a sun that would be!
I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide and say,

"Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah!" 

If all of the snowflakes were chocolate bars and milkshakes, Oh what a snow it would be! 

I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide and say, 

"Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah!" 

In the pic above you can see the boys doing the motions for the "Ah, ah ah..." part. Other than that you can show rain and snowflakes by wiggling your fingers from high to low and the sunbeams by shading your eyes. 

This is a great song for imagination, as I think as a child I did want to have rain made of candy! My dentist would not have approved, but as long as I brushed my teeth afterwards, I'm sure it would have been fine. :-)
