Little April Showers

Grade 1-3 Choir
In the Disney movie Bambi the animals enjoyed the rain.  The rain meant that winter had gone and spring had begun.  Making rain noises with hands adds extra interest, and extra difficulty.  Singing and clapping in rhythm, multi-tasking, is not easy but aids the cohesiveness of the staccato notes.

Learning points:
Staccato
Doh-me-soh
Pronouncing 'd', 'r' and 'p' when singing.
​Key - C Major
Range B3 - E5
From Walt Disney's BAMBI.  Words by Larry Morey.  Music by Frank Churchill.

Drip, drip, drop, little April shower,
beating a tune as you fall all around.
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower,
what can compare with your beautiful sound.
Drip, drip, drop, when the sky is cloudy

your pretty music can brighten the day.
Drip, drip, drop, when the sun says "Howdy"

you say "Goodbye" right away.
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower,

beating a tune everywhere that you fall.
Drip, drip, drop, little April shower,

I'm getting wet and I don't care at all.
Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop, I'll never be afraid
of a good little, bright little April serenade.
