Listening to this band would be like listening to Al Bowlly singing with Ray Noble and His Orchestra if only high-definition recording equipment had been around 70+ years ago. I've read somewhere that Her Majesty is not displeased whenever she hears the Pasadena Roof Orchestra.

Singing in the Rain
Pasadena Roof Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain

Why am I smilin' and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start happy
And get up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you

I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face

I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain

I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
I am walking or even dancing through the rain while singing

What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
What an amazing feeling it is to have happiness back in my life

I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
Even the gloominess of the dark clouds can't dampen my mood as I find humor in them

And singin' just singin' in the rain
For me, singing in the rain is not just a song, it's a way of life
