v - Tried to keep my necklace close to me,
But school took it away.
Meg was mean and stole it for herself,
But my godfather meant it for me.
ch - Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on
v - My tears rolled down like rain
What will happen to me?
But I saved the fish from the sand
And the bird from the storm.
ch - Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on
Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
Oho, oho, oho, oho
ch2 - Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friends’ clues
Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friend’s clues.
v – I found the necklace
A princess has it
But now my godfather’s coming
He has the tenth drop
ch - Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on
ch2 - Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friends’ clues
Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friend’s clues.
v - If I want my necklace back
I must make it rain for them
But he was angry, he dropped the raindrop
A tear rolled to the chain making ten
ch - Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on
ch2 - Missing necklace, missing necklace, I have found you
Let me dry my eyes so I
Can make it start raining by blowing my nose
Let me dry my eyes so I….
Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on.
