format is used here. Because most lyrics

Aces, said lyrics are not annotated. Those sung
only by lead Al Alberts are
shown in (parentheses).


Ev'ry time it rains, it rains pennies from
heaven
Don'tcha know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
(You'll
find your fortune fallin' all over town)
(Be 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

(Ev'ry time it rains, it rains)…Pennies from heaven
(Don'tcha
know each cloud contains)…Pennies from heaven?
(You'll find you fortune
fallin') All over town
(Be 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 for me
