A re-write of the old song "Pennies from Heaven".
Thunder & Lightening.

After listening to the original (Pennies from Heaven), I couldn't get the lines "So when it starts to thunder/Don't run under a tree" out of my head, and so I re-wrote the song as follows:

Every time it rains it rains
Thunder & lightning
Don't you know each cloud contains
Thunder & lightning

There's enough static up there -
Should it come down -
To light, through your umbrella,
The whole of town.

Keep down low or stay indoors
Where it's less fright'ning
Unless you wish, of course,
To get struck by lightning

So when it starts to thunder,
Don't run under a tree
Or else fried to a frazzle you just could be.
