From Northenden to Partington it's rainFrom Altrincham to Chadderton it's rainFrom Moss Side to Swinton hardly SpainIt's a picture postcard of "wish they never came"And whilst that deckchair in the garden it makes no senseIt doesn't spoil the view or cause offenceThose Floridas, Bavarias and KentsMake gentlemen wear shorts but don't make gentsSo convertible stay garage-boundSave after-sun for laterIf rain makes Britain greatThen Manchester is greaterAs you dry your clothes once againUpon the radiatorWhat makes Britain greatMakes Manchester yet greaterFrom Cheetham Hill to Wythenshawe it's rainGorton, Salford, Sale pretty much the sameAs I'm caught up without my jacket once againThe raindrops on my face play a sweet refrainAnd as winter turns reluctantly to springFor the clouds above the city there's one last flingSwallows build their nests, chaffinch singAnd the sun strolls into town like long lost kingAnd the mood of this whole sudden place is melancholyLike the sun came out to play, shone through the cloudsBut dropped its lollyAnd everyone looks so disappointed, so, so sorryLike the rain blew into town, kidnapped the sunAnd stole its brolly
