Lyrics
Grey sky hanging over the street But look at all the colours on our feet Red one, blue one, polka dot too Everybody's walking with a rainbow view Pop them open, here we go Let the drizzle steal the show Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Lift it up high and sway, sway, sway Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Rain on the top but we're okay Oh-oh, step in time Every little raindrop keeps the rhythm and rhyme Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Neighbour at the corner, share the shade Hold it for a stranger, that's how friends are made Puddles playing drums on the pavement floor Pitter-patter chorus, give us more Pop them open, here we go Let the drizzle steal the show Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Lift it up high and sway, sway, sway Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Rain on the top but we're okay Oh-oh, step in time Every little raindrop keeps the rhythm and rhyme Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Spin it, spin it, let it fly Little rainbows in the sky Clap for the clouds, they're doing their part Rain makes room for a happy heart Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Lift it up high and sway, sway, sway Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Rain on the top but we're okay Oh-oh, step in time Every little raindrop keeps the rhythm and rhyme Umbrella parade, hey, hey! Sway, sway, sway We're okay
