《One More Rainy Night》 Little Ami & The Five Skandha Babies · A Playful Oriental Quartet ［Intro – Bouncy Piano, Plucked Strings & Gentle Rain] [Soprano – Little Ami, curious and sweet] Tip-tap, tip-tap, who’s outside? Little raindrops dancing by! [Alto – Baby of Form] On the leaves and on the flowers, Rain is singing, hour by hour! [Tenor – Baby of Feeling] Pitter-patter, soft and slow, Dreams are waking up below! [Bass – Baby of Consciousness, playful] Who wants tea? I’ve made a pot! Oops! It’s steaming quite a lot! [Verse 1 – Soprano Lead, Light Four-Part Harmony] Rain is tapping on the glass, Silver shadows softly pass. Banana leaves begin to sing, Little drops make bells of spring. [Alto] Tea is brewing, incense glows, [Tenor] Firelight warms us head to toes. [Soprano – Little Ami] Old poems, a cozy chair, [All Four] Peace and poetry everywhere! [Pre-Chorus – Call and Response] [Soprano] Far away— [Alto] Close and clear— [Tenor] Little raindrops— [Bass] Tap right here! [Soprano & Alto] Cup of tea— [Tenor & Bass] Poetry— [All Four – Bouncy Harmony] What a lovely night to be! [Chorus – Bright, Catchy Four-Part Quartet] [Soprano – Lead] Rainy night by my window, Hear the little raindrops go! [Alto] Dreams are dancing in the light, [Tenor] Every cloud has songs tonight! [Bass – Warm and Rhythmic] Morning, evening, who can say? [All Four – Full, Joyful Harmony] Let the rain just dance away! Half a window, half a dream, Tea and moonlight, warm and green. All the world is soft and bright, Sip some springtime, sing all night! [Interlude – Playful Children’s Quartet] [Soprano] La-di-da, la-di-dee! [Alto] Raindrops dancing on the leaves! [Tenor] La-di-la, the shadows sway! [Bass] Tea is ready! Hip-hip-hooray! [All Four – Rhythmic Counterpoint] Tip-tap, tip-tap, what a tune! Even raindrops want tea soon! [Verse 2 – Tenor Lead, Soprano Floating Above] [Tenor] Springtime dreams come tumbling through, Clouds turn gray, then skies turn blue. Life has many songs to sing, Joy and sorrow, both take wing. [Alto] Storms may fill the garden floor, Then they leave and sing no more. [Soprano – Little Ami] Tomorrow’s hills will shine anew, [All Four] And every tree wears drops of dew! [Bridge – Playful Rhythmic Dialogue] [Soprano] Rain comes down— [Alto] Let it play! [Tenor] Wind blows by— [Bass] Sing hooray! [Soprano & Alto] A thousand drops— [Tenor & Bass] A rainbow grows! [All Four – Rising Harmony] A thousand colors bloom and glow! [Little Ami – Spoken, Innocently] But if the rain has gone away, Can we have another cup of tea? [Bass – Cheerfully] Of course! One more! [All Four – Laughing] Pour away! [Final Chorus – Lively, Rich SATB Harmony] [Soprano – Bright and Soaring] Rainy night by my window, Hear the little raindrops go! [Alto – Flowing Countermelody] Dreams are dancing in the light, [Tenor] Every cloud has songs tonight! [Bass – Warm and Bouncy] Morning, evening, who can say? [All Four – Full, Joyful Harmony] Let the rain just dance away! Half a window, half a dream, Tea and moonlight, warm and green. All the world is soft and bright, Sip some springtime, sing all night! [Soprano] Clouds roll on— [Alto] Flowers rise— [Tenor] Sunlight paints— [Bass] The morning skies! [All Four – Triumphant but Light] Up we go, where blue winds blow! Let our little garden grow! [Outro – Rain Fades, Ukulele, Flute & Piano] [Soprano – Softly] Tip-tap, tip-tap— [Alto] Getting slow— [Tenor] Morning sunlight— [Bass] Time to go! [Soprano & Alto] One small flower, fresh with dew, [Tenor & Bass] One bright morning, fresh and new. [All Four – Gentle A Cappella Harmony] One more night has drifted through, [Soprano – Delicate High Note] Hello, spring! Hello, you! [All Four – Soft Humming] Mmm-mm, la-di-dee… [End – One Playful Piano Chord, Morning Birds]
