Barefoot Children Songtext
von Jimmy Buffett

Scratch my back with a lightnin′ bolt
Thunder rolls like a bass drum note
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band

We all fell down from the Milky Way
Hangin′ round here 'til the Judgement Day
Heaven only knows who's in command

Barefoot children in the rain
Got no need to explain
We′d be swingin′ on a ball and chain
It's always understood by those who play the game
Barefoot children in the rain

Show me yours and I′ll show you mine
Take me back to days full of monkey shines
Bouncin' on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun

Keep your raft from the river boat
Fiction over fact always has my vote
And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been


Barefoot children in the rain
Got no need to explain
We′d be swingin' on a ball and chain
It′s always understood by those who play the game
Barefoot children in the rain

La, la, la, la, la...
Barefoot children in the rain

Scratch my back with a lightnin' bolt
Thunder rolls like a bass drum note
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band

The sky turns blue and the sun appears
But the question′s still, what are we doin′ here?
I don't think the answer′s close at hand

Barefoot children in the rain
Got no need to explain
We'd be swingin′ on a ball and chain
It's always understood by those who play the game
Barefoot children in the rain

In the rain, in the rain
