Song lyrics to It Never Rains But What It Pours (1938), Words and Music by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel, performed by Judy Garland in Love Finds Andy Hardy
Did ya ever wake up in the morning
And grumble as you tumble out of bed?
You stub your toe – ouch
You hit your elbow – ooh
You bump your head – ooh
You step on a tack and you let out a howl
There’s soap in your eyes and you can’t find a towel
You try to comb your hair but can’t arrange it
Spill orange juice on your dress
And have to change it
Then all day long
Everything you touch goes wrong
Teacher told us when this happens
To never whine or wail
The same thing happens in life
But on a very much larger scale
It never rains, but what it pours
If Lady Luck should happen to desert you
A bit of rain is never going to hurt you
So wait and the skies will be blue
It never rains, but what it pours
Oh what if all your troubles come in bunches?
Keep sticking to your silly little hunches
And the sun will come shining through
Bide your time and keep on humming
Don’t you frown and sit around and weep
Wait your turn
Your day is coming
And you’ll be there on top of the heap
It never rains, but it pours
You may as well get all your worries over
From then on you’re gonna be in clover
Smile when you should cry
For every cloud, there’ll be a rainbow
There’ll be a sunbeam for every raindrop
By and by
