lyrics

HE SPENT TWO YEARS PUTTING THE PIECES
OF HIS MODEL VILLAGE TOGETHER
HIS KIDS MOVED ON AND HIS WIFE WALKED OUT
CLAIMING THAT HE DIDN’T RESPECT HER

HE BUILT A SCHOOL AND A CHURCH AND A LIBRARY
A BRIDGE HELD UP BY SUSPENSION
BUT HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS NAIVE
WHEN I ASKED AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION

WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE RAIN COMES
WHAT YOU GONNA DO IF IT POURS
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
PICK UP THE PIECES AND START ALL OVER AGAIN

HE PUT LIGHTS IN EVERY BUILDING
AND IT STARTED TO COME TO LIFE
WHEN HE APPLIED THE FINISHING TOUCHES
TO THE PARADE AND THE BUTCHERS WIFE

SO HE APPLIED FOR AN EXTENSION
READ THE PLANS HIMSELF AND APPROVED
BUT WHEN I ASKED HIM FOR A SECOND TIME
HE CLEARLY HADN’T A CLUE

WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE RAIN COMES
WHAT YOU GONNA DO IF IT POURS
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
PICK UP THE PIECES AND START ALL OVER AGAIN
ALL OVER AGAIN … ALLOVER AGAIN

AND THE RAIN CAME AND IT STARTED TO POUR
AND THE WIND HOWLED LIKE NEVER BEFORE
AND IT SWIRLED AND STARTED TO ROAR
AND IT RAZED HIS TINY TOWN TO THE FLOOR

WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE RAIN COMES
DOWN DOWN DOWN
WHAT YOU GONNA DO IF IT POURS
DOWN DOWN DOWN
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WIND HOWLS
NOW NOW NOW
PICK UP THE PIECES AND START ALL OVER
