If you’re a cloud and you know it float around (raise arms to side and sway)
If you’re a cloud and you know it then you’ll really want to show it,
If you’re a cloud and you know it float around.
If you’re a cloud and you know it make it rain, (move fingers down to ground like rain)
If you’re a cloud and you know it then you’ll really want to show it,
If you’re a cloud and you know it make it rain.
If you’re a cloud and you know it make it thunder, (stomp feet and slap legs)
If you’re a cloud and you know it then you’ll really want to show it,
If you’re a cloud and you know it make it thunder.
