I'm singin' in the rain,

Just singin' in the rain,

What a glorious feeling,

I'm happy again!

I'm laughing at clouds,

So dark, up above,

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase

Ev'ryone form the place,

Come on with the rain,

I've a smile on my face.

I'll walk down the lane

With a happy refrain,

And singin', just singin'

In the rain.
