(tom waits/k. brennan) The ice man's mule is parked Outside the bar Where a man with missing fingers Plays a strange guitar And the german dwarf Dances with the butcher's son And a little rain never hurt no one And a little rain never hurt no one They're dancing on the roof And the ceiling's coming down I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves A little trouble makes it worth the going And a little rain never hurt no one The world is round And so i'll go around You must risk something that matters My hands are strong I'll take any man here If it's worth the going It's worth the ride She was 15 years old And never seen the ocean She climbed into a van With a vagabond And the last thing she said Was, "i love you mom." And a little rain Never hurt no one And a little rain Never hurt no one
