Lyrics
Monsoon came down while I waited for the bus Ten of us squeezed in, we were making a fuss Tin roof drumming like a band in the sky A girl with a speaker said hey, wanna try One by one we start to sing Rain is keeping time, everything Sing it loud in the bus shelter, let the rain come down Sing it loud in the bus shelter, best band in town The bus is late and we don't care Water's in our shoes and we're singing anywhere Sing it loud in the bus shelter, let the rain come down An old man tapping with his folded umbrella A kid on the bench with a cardboard cello The speaker's got a crackle but the chorus is clear Strangers are a choir when the sky's this near One by one we start to sing Rain is keeping time, everything Sing it loud in the bus shelter, let the rain come down Sing it loud in the bus shelter, best band in town The bus is late and we don't care Water's in our shoes and we're singing anywhere Sing it loud in the bus shelter, let the rain come down Here comes the bus with its yellow light Nobody wants to leave tonight One more song, the driver says okay Rain on the roof and we're here to stay Sing it loud in the bus shelter, let the rain come down Sing it loud in the bus shelter, best band in town The bus is late and we don't care Water's in our shoes and we're singing anywhere Sing it loud in the bus shelter, let the rain come down Let the rain come down Best band in town
