Hi (hi), we're your Weather Girls (uh-huh)
And have we got news for you (you better listen)
Get ready all you lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home (all right)

Humidity is rising (uh rising)
Barometer's getting low (how low girl, uh-oh)
According to all sources (what sources now)
The street's the place to go (we better hurry up)
Cause tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half past ten (half past ten)
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men (start raining men)

It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, every specimen
Tall, blond, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature
She's a single woman too
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do
She fought every angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman
Could find the perfect guy

It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen

I hear stormy weather movin' in
'Bout to break it, about to begin
Hear the thunder, don't you lose your head
Rip up the roof and stay in bed (rip up the roof and stay in bed)

God bless Mother Nature
She's a single woman too
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do
She fought every angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman
Could find the perfect guy
Ooh it's raining men down

Humidity is rising (humidity is rising, yeah it's rising)
Barometer's getting low (it's getting low low low low low low low low low)
(Oh it's getting low)
According to all sources (according to all sources, oh to all sources)
The street's the place to go
Because tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half past ten (half past ten)
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men (start raining men)

It's raining men (woo), hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
Woah woah woah woah woah woah, amen
It's raining men (tall and blond and dark and lean)
It's raining men (and rough and tough and strong and mean)
It's raining men (come on), hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
