Make It Rain
(专辑: I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am - 1969)
The
wealthy ones like you look down On the
common folk like me Making bets to what degree of fool we are Through your rose-coloured windows You see yourself above us Standing in the
mud and gazing at the
stars But the
rich and poor have in common The
common cold, the
heartburn and the
heartache Put our pants on just the
same Your worth don't make you better, babe 'Cause I
can tread water, babe As long as you think you make it rain While you got your raising, girl And your diamond-studded world I
got pulled up on the
hungry side o' town I
cut my teeth on bacon rind There ain't no hide as tough as mine But it might be fun awhile to be your clown So, get your whip and do your thing And I'll run around the
ring Ride my white horse, wear my armour too Aah, but I
don't easy blister, babe I'll be your Court Jester, babe Don't think you won't pay the
fiddler too I
put your hand in mine It was a
shocking time to find The
water hot, the
current strong and deep and wet You had me struggling for a
time A-dragging on your line But never fear, this fish will never swim While you're playing with my mind I'll be paying with your money, honey As long as your account can stand the
drain I'll fan the
flame and make it hotter 'Cause I
think I
can walk on water As long as you can make it rain Aww, I'll hang around awhile Study your style Come out a
whole lot wiser man indeed 'Cause the
last time anyone as grand As you appeared and looked around Found the
grandest star up in the
East Hey, but I
don't see no halo Just a
little girl with a
lot of gold Wanting one more trinket for her golden scene Aah, but you got a
hot one hanging, kid Don't let him say you never did your best Be my guest, make it rain Aah, make it rain Babe, make it rain Make it rain Oh, make it rain
