Lyrics[]

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be.

If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be.

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be.

If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be.

If all the sunbeams were bubble gum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
If all the sunbeams were bubble gum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be.

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be.

If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be.

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be.

Si las gotas de lluvia fueran de caramelo
Me encantaría estar ahí
Abriendo la boca para saborear
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
Si las gotas de lluvia fueran de caramelo
Me encantaría estar ahí

Si los copos de nieve fueran leche malteada
Me encantaría estar ahí
Abriendo la boca para saborear
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
Si los copos de nieve fueran leche malteada
Me encantaría estar ahí

Si los rayos de sol fueran helado y chocolates
Me encantaría estar ahí
Abriendo la boca para saborear
Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah
Si los rayos de sol fueran helado y chocolates
Me encantaría estar ahí

Trivia[]

  • When this song first appeared in Barney Goes To School, it was only sung for two verses.
  • Starting in 1995, the song's third verse is officially a reprise of the first, as previously performed as such in Barney Live! In New York City and What's That Shadow?.
  • On television, the original version was used in "The Exercise Circus!" and "At Home With Animals", the latter of which had the song's tempo increased.
  • In the movie, Barney's Great Adventure, Barney performs a big band version of this song in a French restaurant to distract the patrons (while the children look for the egg). In addition, this version has four verses with the fourth verse being another reprise of the first. This was also used in The Queen of Make-Believe, but with the sunbeam verse as the third one.
  • Grammy-winning singer Peabo Bryson performed a version of this song in Barney's Great Adventure: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, as the 11th track on the soundtrack album.
  • In Season 5 and Sweeter Than Candy: Greece, the key would not change from E to F when the third verse is reached.
  • In the Hebrew version, the song says "cola drops" instead of "lemon drops and gumdrops" and "krembo flakes" instead of "candy bars and milkshakes".
  • After "standing outside with my mouth open wide", the characters imitate monkeys by using just "aahs" while singing the same notes as the line.
