lyrics

We could’ve went up the Green Mountains
and traipsed around in the golden auburn fall
They said it would only last a day or two
but it’s been drawn along now for three or four days
No fair at all

Don’t rain, not on my parade
Don’t rain, not on my parade

Why must we keep playing the same old charade?
How come I can’t go out to L.A.?

Don’t rain, not on my parade
Don’t rain, not on my parade

Rain, rain, rain, rain go away
Rain, rain, rain, rain go away
Come back another day

Don’t rain, not on my parade
Don’t rain, not on my parade
Don’t rain, not on my parade

Why must we keep playing the same old charade?

Thank you to my great band, Tom Hamilton, Kenne Highland (for introducing me to Tom Hamilton and having me play in his band), Cal Cali (for giving me opportunity to play in his band and getting me into the Boston rock scene), my rock buddies Tom Brewitt and Glenn Beauchemin (for getting me actively performing and being at the conception of this song), my old college buddies Scott Dolliver, Chris Mathews and Phil D’Antonio (for starting my musical journey all those years ago cutting our teeth playing in a band). Also thank you to the acoustic singer/songwriter community, notably Lisa Housman, Dave Falk, Janet Connerney, Tom Bianchi, Danielle Miraglia, and the late Hugh McGowan, for giving me a place to develop my performing and songwriting chops. To my family and everyone who ever supported me! Thank you!
