What is the Weather Like Today?

Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Look outside now; can you say

What the weather is like today?

Is there sunshine, is there rain,

Is wind blowing down the lane?

 Are there snowflakes falling down,

Are there big clouds floating around?

Look outside now; can you say

What the weather is like today?

 

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Rain, rain go away

Come again another day.

Rain, rain go away
