Lyrics by Arthur Freed I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain
Dancin' in the rain
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!
I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...
Why am I smiling
And why do I sing?
Why does September
Seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up
Each morning and start?
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart
Why is each new task
A trifle to do?
Because I am living
A life full of you.

Singin' in the Rain video song reviews from users:
![]() Singin' in the Rain (1952), ranked the #5 Greatest Movie of All Time, the #1 movie musical in American film history by the American Film Institute in 2006 and the song "Singin' In The Rain" ranks #3 in their top songs, directed by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, story and screen play by Adolph Green and Betty Comden, with Gene Kelly as Don Lockwood, Donald O'Connor as Cosmo Brown, Debbie Reynolds as Kathy Selden, Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont, Millard Mitchell as R.F. Simpson, Cyd Charisse as Dancer, Douglas Fowley as Roscoe Dexter, Rita Moreno as Zelda Zanders ![]() In an early version of the script, the musical number "Singin' in the Rain" was to be sung by Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor and Gene Kelly on the way back from the flop of a talkie movie. This was the fourth time the song "Singin' in the Rain" was used in an MGM film. It was introduced in The Hollywood Revue of 1929 (1929) when it was sung by the MGM roster in front of a Noah's Ark backdrop. Jimmy Durante sang it briefly in Speak Easily (1932). Judy Garland also sang it in Little Nellie Kelly (1940). Durante was the first to add the often used "Doo Doo Doo" and "Ya Da Da Da" to the song. ![]() The script was written after the songs, and so the writers had to generate a plot into which the songs would fit. The rain consisted of a mixture of water and milk so it would show up better on film but it caused Gene Kelly's wool suit to shrink. ![]() Working days sometimes stretched to 19 hours. Filming of the Cyd Charisse dance number had to be stopped for several hours after it was discovered that her pubic hair was visible through her costume. When the problem was finally fixed, the film's costume designer Walter Plunkett said, "It's OK, guys, we've finally got Cyd's crotch licked." |
