It's Raining Men - Song Lyrics

  • Originally performed by The Weather Girls
  • Originally released in 1982, it was one of the last great disco anthems
  • Remade by Geri Halliwell, formerly Ginger Spice of the Spice Girls, in 2001
  • Used in the movie Brigit Jones's Diary
  • Smash hit in UK, it debuted at #1 on the UK charts
  • Ironically, in spite of the song's popularity, neither version ever cracked the US Top 40 charts

This first verse is spoken at the beginning of the Weather Girl's original version of the song

Hi Hi! We're your Weather Girls Ah huh
And have we got news for you You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home. Alright!

Humidity�s rising, Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Amen! OW!

Humidity�s rising, Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.

It�s Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It�s Raining Men! Amen
I'm gonna go out, I�m gonna let myself get,
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy

It's Raining Men!
Spoken: Don�t get yourself wet girl, I know you want to.
I �feel�stormy�weather�moving�.in
About to begin
With�the�thunder�don�t�you�loose�your�head.
Rip off the roof and stay in bed!

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Amen!

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Amen!

It�s Raining Men, It�s Raining Men,
It�s Raining Men, It�s Raining Men,
It�s Raining Men, It�s Raining Men,
It�s Raining Men, It�s Raining Men�
