It's Raining In Maleny

Every shower of rain is welcome it's been two months so they say Since it last rained in Maleny and it's raining there today And the farmer he feels happy though his paddocks looking bare And he thanks the God rainmaker that some rain he now can spare. In the Queensland Town of Maleny happy people walk the street They seem happy it is raining and a respite from the heat Though the drought may not be broken it's a welcome fall of rain And the forecast for tomorrow is sunny and warm again. For South Queensland coastal country it has been a thirsty Spring And on flowering jacaranda the male black backed magpie sing And the magpie pipes his sweetest when the rain is pouring down And it's raining in Maleny on Maleny's mountain Town. After long weeks of warm weather rain can be a source of joy And it's raining in Maleny after two months warm and dry And the bare and thirsty paddocks every welcome raindropp soak And the farmer he feels happy though the drought may not be broke.
