Everyone Complains About the Weather (Fryer) Songtext

von Sammy Fain

Ev'ryone complains about the weather

Oh, ev'ryone complains about the weather,
But nobody ever does anything about it!
Why don't they simply tell the fellas who complain:
" How could you sell umbrellas if there was'nt any rain? "
My friends, it all depends on Mother Nature;
The laws of compensation still apply;
The weather may be frightful
To ‘most ev'ryone; but, shucks,
It couldn't be more delightful
From the point of view of ducks!
So, if you still complain about the weather,
Then why the devil don't you do something about it?

Oh, ev'ryone complains about the weather,
But nobody ever done anything about it!
Why don't they realise a very simple thing:
You've gotta have a winter if you wanna have a spring!
My friend, it all depends on Mother Nature;
The laws of compensation still apply;
Quit beefin' ‘ bout the showers
On a cloudy April day
And think of the fields of flowers
You'll be trippen through in May!
So, if you still complain about the weather,
Then why the devil don't you do something,
Then why the devil don't you do something,
Then why the devil don't you do something about it?
