Ev’ryone Complains About the Weather Lyrics by Tim Flavin

Calamity Jane (Original Studio Cast)

1996

[FRYER, spoken]
Mister Miller, I'm sorry about the mistake... Maybe I'm not what you wanted, but I am a good song-and-dance man, and if you've got a show tonight I'd like to help out — if you'll give me the chance
[CALAMITY, spoken]
Let him show you what he can do!
[FRYER]
Yes, let me show you-
[MILLER, spoken]
What's the use? I'm ruined anyway. I advertised an actress
[FRYER, spoken]
But you can at least let me show you!
[FRYER]
Oh, ev'ryone complains about the weather
But nobody ever does anything about it!
Why don't they simply tell
The fellas who complain
"How could you sell umbrellas
If there wasn't any rain?"
My friends, it all depends on Mother Nature
The laws of compensation still apply
The weather may be frightful
To 'most ev'ryone, but shucks
It couldn't be more delightful
From the point of view of ducks!
So, if you still complain about the weather
Then why the devil
Don't you do something about it?
[Instrumental]
Oh, ev'ryone complains about the weather
But nobody ever does anything about it!
Why don't they realise a very simple thing
You've gotta have a winter
If you wanna have a spring!
My friends, it all depends on Mother Nature
The laws of compensation still apply
Quit beefin' about the showers
On a cloudy April day
And think of the fields of flowers
You'll be trippin' through in May!
So, if you still complain about the weather
Then why the devil don't you do something
Then why the devil don't you do something
Then why the devil don't you do something about it?
