Several Drops of Rain

Several Drops of Rain is a song from Yakko's World sung primarily by Dot (with some unnecessary input by her brothers). According to songwriter Randy Rogel, he intended this to be a rather sweet and serious song, but the producers insisted he add commentary by Yakko and Wakko.

Lyrics[]

Yakko and Wakko:

It's raining, it's pouring,

Don't sing a song that's boring.

Dot:

There's a plain up in Maine

Where there're tiny drops of rain

Forming ripples in a puddle that they make.

And that puddle grows beyond

Into something called a pond

Spreading outward 'til it turns into a lake.

When that lake springs a leak,

Then it forms a little creek,

Which goes rushing down and turns into a stream

And the water keeps on flowing

So that trees can keep on growing

In a pattern that is showing nature's scheme.

And every flower, every weed

Get the water that they need

From that little tiny stream that trickles by.

Yakko and Wakko:

And in the swamp, it picks up germs

From bacteria and worms

And if you drink it, you'll get really sick and die!

Dot:

Hey, this is my song!

The stream joins a river

And goes racing to deliver

All the water as it rushes to the sea.

Then it flows into a bay

Where's it's quickly swept away

To the ocean, filled with motion, swirling free.

Then the sun shines on down

Putting heat upon the ground

And evaporating mist into the air.

And the water starts to rise

As it lifts into the skies

And soon there is rain on that plain up in Maine...

Yakko and Wakko:

And that rain is a pain

So why don't they build a drain?

Dot:

For water has position,

Which is always in transition

From the mountains to the oceans to the sky.

Yakko and Wakko:

And it's something you can drink

Or that you spit into the sink

If you control the way it goes

You can shoot it out your nose

If you try!

Dot:

And now you both can say goodbye!!!

Hyah!
