Lyrics:

(Scatting by Scatman John)

The fire of desire's causing too much pain
There isn't much to lose or to gain standing in the rain
It's driving me insane
As far as I can see the dream has been forsaken
We need to reawaken an ah stop standing in the rain...
Yeah... standing in the rain
Stop standing in the rain
(stop the rain)

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Somebody stop the rain
Stop the rain stop the rain stop the rain
(Standing in the rain)
Somebody stop the rain
Stop the rain stop the rain
Somebody stop the rain
Stop the rain stop the rain stop the rain
(Yeah...stop corruption)
Somebody stop the rain
Stop the rain stop the rain
I'm drippin' and I'm soakin' wet

(Scatting by Scatman John)

A silent kind of thunder flashing through my soul,
My mind's feelin hot but I'm cold.
Standin' in the rain,
Standing in the rain.
The words of the sages, written on the pages,
Impossible for me to see.
I'm standing in the rain.
Drivin' me insane.
Keeps rainin', yeah.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Somebody stop the rain
Stop the rain stop the rain stop the rain
(Standing in the rain)
Somebody stop the rain (Ooh)
Stop the rain stop the rain (Yeah, stop pollution)
Somebody stop the rain
Stop the rain stop the rain stop the rain (Standing in the rain)
Somebody stop the rain, (Yeah)
Stop the rain stop the rain
Uh huh... God knows I'm soakin' wet (Uuah)

They try to tell you day's nite wrong's right black's white
Tell me what you're sayin' when you're prayin'
Standing in the
Rain... standing in the rain
The moral of the story you can take it from me
Take a look and you'll see that we're all standing in the
Rain... I just can't play the game (auhhhh)
Somebody stop the rain
(Yeah... stop corruption)
Somebody stop the rain (Uh huh)
Stop the rain stop the rain
Somebody stop the rain
(Yes hear me children I'm talkin')
(Uh huh) (Wo-oh) (Oh oh)
I'm drippin' and I'M soakin' wet
(Yeah)
