 alking  n the  ain
want her
I need her
And someday, someway...whoooa...
I'll meet her
She'll be kind of shy
And real good looking too
And I'll be certain, she's my girl
By the things she'll like to do.
 ike walking in the rain
And wishing on the stars
Up above
And being so in love.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooooh... Ooooh
Doo, doo, doo, doo...
When she's near me
I'll kiss her
And when she leaves me...whoooa...
I'll miss her.
Though sometimes we'll fight
I won't really care
I know she's gonna be alright
Cause we got so much to share.
ike walking in the rain
And wishing on the stars
Up above
And being so in love.
No, no she'll never do
No, it isn't her too
They would never, no they'd never...
Never, ever, love
Walking in the rain
And wishing on the stars
Or being so in love
Walking in the rain...

Bio-bibliographical note about "Jay & the Americans":
"Jay & the Americans" managed to consistently record hit songs and put four of them in the top ten in the 60's. All were recorded for United Artists.
The original lead singer of the group was John "Jay" Traynor, who had been with the Mystics in the late 50's. He got together with a group called the Harbor Lites in New York City late in 1959 from among a group of students at New York University. Among the group members were Sandy Deane (a.k.a. Sandy Yaguda), Sidell Sherman and Kenny Rosenberg (a.k.a Kenny Vance).
In 1964 they recorded their biggest hit, "Come A Little Bit Closer", which had been written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
Other hits followed in 1965: "Let's Lock The Door" (And Throw Away The Key), "Some Enchanted Evening", and a song that was Neil Diamond's first big hit as a songwriter, "Sunday and Me".
Later in the 60's they organized their own company Jata and recorded more covers that sold well: the Drifters' "This Magic Moment" (top ten in 1969) and the Ronettes' "Walkin' In The Rain".
In the 70's two members of Jay & the Americans' backup group, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, moved to the West Coast and formed Steely Dan. Original member Kenny Vance recorded some solo albums and became a musical director in Hollywood. Jay Black also did some solo recording and had a single in the top 100 as late as 1980. He is still active in the music business.
