Song for a Rainy Sunday

         (Jonathan Dykes – lyrics, Robert Campbell - music)

It's a rainy Sunday morning and I don't know what to do,
If I stay in bed all day, I'll only think about you,
If I try to study, I won't learn anything new,
And if I go for a walk on my own in the park,
I'll probably catch the flu!

I just don't know (He doesn't know) what to do (what to do). – 2 times

If I stay in bed all day, I'll only think about you,
If I try to study, I won't learn anything new.
And if I go for a walk on my own in the park,
I'll probably catch the flu – atchoo!

It's nearly Sunday lunchtime and I don't know where to eat.
If I walk to the fish and chip shop, I'll only get wet feet.
If I stay at home for lunch, I'll have to eat last week's meat.
And if I get in my car and drive to the pub,
I probably won't get a seat.

I just don't know (He doesn't know) where to eat (where to eat). – 2 times

If I walk to the fish and chip shop, I'll only get wet feet.
If I stay at home for lunch, I'll have to eat last week's meat.
And if I get in my car and drive to the pub,
I probably won't get a seat.

The rain has stopped and I like to go out but I don't know where to go.
If I invite you out for a drink, you'll probably say no;
If I go to the theatre alone, I won't enjoy the show,
And if I stay here at home on my own,
I'll be bored and miserable, so.

I just don't know (He doesn't know) where to go (where to go). – 2 times

If I invite you out for a drink, you'll probably say no;
If I go to the theatre alone, I won't enjoy the show,
And if I stay here at home on my own,
I'll be bored and miserable, so.

I'm going to the theatre but I don't know what to wear,
I know if I look through my socks, I'll never find a pair,
If I put on my new green boots, people will probably stare,
And if my tie isn't straight and they complain 'cause I'm late,
I say, "Listen, mate: I don't care!"
