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!
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 to run and 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! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amen!
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amennnn!
I feel stormy weather
Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder
Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
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! Yeah!
Humidity is 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!
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
The song begins with the introduction of the two Weather Girls, who have a special report for all the lonely girls out there. The lyrics then reveal that something monumental is about to happen – it's going to start raining men for the first time in history. The women are excited and urge all the ladies to leave their umbrellas at home and get ready for a wild night.
The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, with each repetition growing more frenzied and joyous. "It's raining men! Hallelujah! It's raining men! Amen!" the women sing exultantly. They describe in detail the types of men that are falling from the sky: tall, blonde, dark, lean, rough, tough, strong, and mean. Every "specimen" is covered, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to the tastes of the women waiting below.
The song takes a brief break to thank Mother Nature for sending the men down from the heavens. Apparently, the single woman who controls the weather decided that it was time for every woman to find her perfect guy, so she taught the angels to rearrange the sky. And now all the single ladies can rejoice because it's not just raining; it's raining men.
As the end of the song draws near, the excitement reaches a fever pitch. The women feel the stormy weather coming on and hear the thunder in the distance, but they don't lose their heads. Instead, they rip off the roof and stay in bed, enjoying the men falling on them from above. And as the final chorus rings out, it's clear that the ladies are having the time of their lives.
