The Rainmaker The 5th Dimension

[Verse 1: Billy Davis]
First day in August
And the last rain was in May
When the Rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day
Said the Rainmaker to the people
"What are you prepared to pay?"
Said the Rainmaker to the people
"I'll conjure you up some rain today"

[Chorus: Marilyn McCoo & Florence LaRue]
90 degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady
Hundred and ten in the hot sun
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies
See how they run

[Interlude: Billy Davis]
So you want some rain?
I'll get you some rain

[Verse 2: Billy Davis]
Called down the lightning
By a mystical name
Then the Rainmaker called on the thunder
And suddenly it began to rain
When the Rainmaker passed his hat to the people
The people all turned away
And the Rainmaker's eyes and the Kansas skies
They both became a darker grey
