The Rain in Spain Lyrics

Poor professor Higgins
Poor professor Higgins
Night and day
He slaves away

Oh, poor professor Higgins
All day long on his feet
Up and down until he's numb
Doesn't rest, doesn't eat

Doesn't touch a crumb
Poor professor Higgins
Poor professor Higgins

On he plods against all odds
Oh, poor professor Higgins

Nine p.m., ten p.m.
On through midnight every night
One a.m., two a.m., three

Quit, professor Higgins
Quit, professor Higgins
Hear our plea or payday, we will quit

Ay, not I, "O" not "Ow"
Pounding pounding in our brain
"Ay" not "I", O not "Ow"
Don't say "Rine," say "Rain"
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

By George, she's got it
By George, she's got it
Now, once again where does it rain?
On the plain On the plain

And where's that soggy plain?
In Spain In Spain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

In Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire?
Hurricanes hardly happen

How kind of you to let me come
Now once again, where does it rain?
On the plain, on the plain

And where's that blasted plain?
In Spain, in Spain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
