Have you heard of the Thunder Baby
Way up in the big blue sky?
You\u2019ve seen his cradle, maybe,
And maybe you\u2019ve heard him cry. <\/p>\n
Most of the time he\u2019s sleeping,
Rolled up in a big white cloud,
But when he\u2019s awake and hungry
He bellows awfully loud. <\/p>\n
And when he\u2019s crying, sometimes
You can hear his teardrops fall
With a patter, patter, patter,
Against the garden wall. <\/p>\n
But when he\u2019s madder\u2019n mischief,
He rolls, and growls, and spits,
And kicks the clouds all forty ways,
And gives the weather fits. <\/p>\n
Then tears come down in bucketfuls,
And children dance for joy,
Till the sun comes out and soundly spanks
Her Thunder Baby Boy. <\/p>\n
