If You Want the Rainbow (You Must Have the Rain) - Fanny Brice

What does it matter

if rain comes your way

and raindrops patter along?

The rain descending

should not make you blue

The happy ending is waiting for youu.

Take your share of trouble,

face it and don’t complain.

If you want the rainbow,

you must have the rain.

Happiness comes double

after a little pain

If you want the rainbow,

you must have the rain.

What if your love affair should break up,

as they sometimes will

When you kiss and make up,

oh, oh boy what a thrill!

Sadness ends in gladness,

showers are not in vain

If you want the rainbow,

you must have the rain.

Look for brighter weather,

oh watch for the Sun again

If you want the rainbow,

then you must have the rain.

Pull yourself together,

whistle a happy strain

If you want the rainbow,

then you must have the rain.

If you want the rainbow, why, you just must have the rain.
