The Mills Brothers - Pennies From Heaven lyrics
Artist: The Mills Brothers
album: The Decca Singles, Vol. 1: 1934-1937
A long time ago, about a million years B.C.
The best things in life were absolutely free
But no one appreciated a sky that was always blue
And no one anticipated a moon that was always new
So it was planned that they should vanish now and then
And you must pay before you get them back again
That's what storms were made for
And you shouldn't be afraid for
Every time it rains, it rains, pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's falling all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's falling all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
So take a big deep breath of the clean fresh air
Put a smile on your face, be a millionaire
The streets outside are paved with gold
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
The best things in life were absolutely free
But no one appreciated a sky that was always blue
And no one anticipated a moon that was always new
So it was planned that they should vanish now and then
And you must pay before you get them back again
That's what storms were made for
And you shouldn't be afraid for
Every time it rains, it rains, pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's falling all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's falling all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
So take a big deep breath of the clean fresh air
Put a smile on your face, be a millionaire
The streets outside are paved with gold
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
