it never rains in Southern California
out here the sky is always blue
the weather’s great in Southern California
but it rained the whole time you were here
i picked you up off a plane from wintry Philadelphia
and we drove the scenic route to my house
as we neared the coast the storm clouds hung over the ocean
and it rained until it was time for you to leave
it never rains in Southern California
especially not at this time of year
the weather’s great in sunny California
but it rained the whole time you were here
on the first day it drizzled through the morning
on the second day it rained all night
we drove to mexico and the rain clouds hung low
and we wondered when we would see sunlight
it never rains in Southern California
especially not at this time of year
the weather’s great in sunny California
but it rained the whole time you were here
it rained the whole time you were here.
