Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around
Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
What can compare
Beautiful sound
Beautiful sound
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Drip, drip, drop
When the sky is cloudy
Your pretty music
Will brighten the day
Drip, drip, drop
When the sky is cloudy
You come along with a song right away
Come with your beautiful music
Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around
Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
What can compare with your beautiful sound
Drip, drip drop
When the sky is cloudy
You come along, come along with your pretty little song
Drip, drip drop
When the sky is cloudy
You come along, come along with your pretty little song
Gay little roundalay
Song of the rainy day
How I love to hear your patter
Pretty little pitter-patter
Helter-skelter when you pelter
Troubles always seem to scatter
Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around
Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
What can compare with your beautiful sound
The lyrics to Bambi Chorus's song "April Showers" describe the beauty and joy of rainfall in the springtime. The song's repeated refrain of "Drip, drip, drop, little April shower" paints a vivid auditory picture of the raindrops falling around the listener, and the lyrics express the idea that the sound of the rain is a beautiful and soothing thing. The song also notes how the sound of rainfall can brighten up a cloudy day, providing hope and optimism amidst the gray weather. Ultimately, the song's message is one of appreciation for the small beauties in life, and the joy that can be found in even the most mundane moments.
One interesting fact about "April Showers" is that it was originally written for a different film. The song was intended to be used in the Shirley Temple movie "The Littlest Rebel," but it ended up being cut from the final version of the film. However, Disney producers heard the song and decided it would be perfect for their upcoming film "Bambi." Another interesting fact about the song is that it was written by two prolific Hollywood songwriters: Louis Silvers, who scored over 300 films during his career, and the lyricist B.G. DeSylva, who wrote over 500 songs including classics like "Birth of the Blues" and "Button Up Your Overcoat."
