Stay in the Dry

I can tell by the way you use your walk, you’re a sodden man, no time to talk
Get your wallet out and buy protection from that rainy sky
And it’s alright, it’s okay — could have bought one on ebay
Corner shop, has some stock, and it’s not a lot to pay

Whether you’re a woman or whether you’re a fella
you’ll stay in the dry, stay in the dry
Get a little shelter from any umbrella
to stay in the dry, stay in the dry
Ah, ah, ah, ah — stay in the dry, stay in the dry
Ah, ah, ah, ah stay in the dry-yy

Well, you can try to get by with a plastic mac,
water streaming down your back
Hair slicked down upon your head, wishing you were home in bed
But it’s alright, it’s okay, an umbrella saves the day
Laugh at those, in wet clothes — just as long as no wind blows

Whether you’re a sister or whether you’re a mister,
you’ll stay in the dry, stay in the dry
It’s a great invention that deals with damp-prevention so
you’ll stay in the dry, stay in the dry
Ah, ah, ah, ah — don’t want a drip, in my eye
Ah, ah, ah, ah, just getting by-yy

Now I’m goin’ nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
My soddin’ umbrella, blew inside-out, so now
It’s in the garbage, yeah
