It's a raining in the park but meantime

A band is blowing Dixie, double-four time

But you don't see too many faces

Dm                   C                   Bb      A
Coming in out of the rain, they hear the jazz go down

Competition in too many other places

Said a crowd of boys into foolin' ‘round in the corner
