The Rain in Spain
[SERVANTS]
Quit, Professor Higgins
Quit, Professor Higgins
Hear our plea, or payday we will
Quit, Professor Higgins
"Ay" not "I"; "O" not "Ow"
Pounding, pounding in our brain
"Ay" not "I"; "O" not "Ow"
Don't say "Rine," say "Rain"

[HIGGINS, spoken]
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

[ELIZA, spoken]
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

[HIGGINS, spoken]
Again

[ELIZA, spoken]
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

[HIGGINS, spoken]
I think she's got it
I think she's got it
[ELIZA]
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

[HIGGINS, spoken]
By George, she's got it
By George, she's got it
Now once again, where does it rain?

[ELIZA]
On the plain, on the plain

[HIGGINS]
And where's that soggy plain?

[ELIZA]
In Spain, in Spain

[HIGGINS, ELIZA & PICKERING]
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

[HIGGINS]
In Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire?

[ELIZA]
Hurricanes hardly happen
How kind of you to let me come
[HIGGINS]
Now once again, where does it rain?

[ELIZA]
On the plain, on the plain

[HIGGINS]
And where's that blasted plain?

[ELIZA]
In Spain, in Spain!

[HIGGINS, ELIZA & PICKERING]
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

[Dance break.]

[HIGGINS, spoken]
Pickering, ay

[Exclamations.]
