When a cow is lying down   You know it's gonna rain   And if it's gonna rain   It's gonna rain all goddamn day      Gonna rain on your parade   Rain on your parade   And everything you made      Don't doubt the cow   You know it'll make you mad   Don't doubt the cow   You know it'll make you sad      Don't doubt the cow   It'll make you blue   And if it makes you blue   You'll have to get yourself a clue      Amelia and I were getting nasty   Cow was facing north   And now her belly's rising up   Must have been a curse      I'll never forget that old wise tale   I was told by rail   That if you doubt the cow   You will surely fail      Don't doubt the cow
