Several Drops of Rain is a song from the album Yakko's World sung mostly by Dot (with some unnecessary input by her brothers).
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 the 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!
