It's raining...

It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to bed and he bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning

Remember the nursery rhyme? "It's raining, it's pouring..."

Little is known about the origins of the song,
but it is believed it originated in England (well-known for its rainy weather!)

The rhyme was often sang by children when they could not go out to play.
The lyrics suited the chants that children loved.

In the UK it is common for people to say that "It's pouring" rather than say "It's pouring with rain".
