It's Raining In Wonthaggi

On the gum tree in the garden white backed magpie flutes his song But it's raining in Wonthaggi and the wind is blowing strong Two days back it was so balmy around twenty five degrees It was perfect Summer weather with the faintest cooling breeze. In south Gippsland's changing weather it can change from day to day And the old timers who live here say it's always been this way And when it's raining in Wonthaggi there's a strong wind from the sea And on such inclememt weather indoors is the place to be. And the magpie he keeps singing I can see him through the pane And for some strange sort of reason he seems happy in the rain Though birds sing their best and sweetest on their breeding days in Spring On wet and changing weather you can also hear them sing. It is windy in Wonthaggi and the rain is pouring down And storm water drains are flooded all around the country Town But the magpie seems quite happy he feels moved to melody And he celebrate the downpour on high branch of old gum tree.
