Pitter Patter
Beach Boys · Other Songs - Beach Boys
It looks like rain and it's been comin' on for hours
It looks like rain I hear the rumble of thunder showers
Pretty soon the rain will play its sweet refrain
While we listen from inside
And until it stops, we'll hear the drips and drops
From beside the fireside
So let it rain
(pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Yeah and we'll be happy when it stops
(pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
'Cause when it rains
(pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
The ways of love rise in my heart
(pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
We won't be sad when there is a storm (ooooo)
And we can be glad (ooooo)
'Cause we can keep warm, yeah, yeah
Listen to the rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Pitter patter oooo
A rain swept plain
Soon after springtime rains blow over
Will sprout new grain
And miles of fresh green fields of clover
Winter and its cold soon will lose its hold
With the changes spring will bring
Sun comes pourin' down warmin' up the ground
Bringin' new life with the spring
So let it rain
(pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Yeah and we'll be happy when it stops
(pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
'Cause when it rains
(pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
The ways of love rise in my heart
(pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
And like the risin' tides love is growin' stronger (ooooo)
Let's ride out the storm just a little bit longer yeah (ooooo)
Listen to the rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter (goin' drip drop drip drop)

Pitter Patter - Beach Boys
Released in 1962, "Pitter Patter" stands as a quintessential example of the early Beach Boys' surf rock sound, characterized by its shimmering harmonies and rhythmic guitar work. The track captures the nostalgic atmosphere of California summers, utilizing the band's signature vocal arrangements to evoke a sense of carefree youth. As one of their earliest recordings, it helped establish the group's reputation for crafting melodic pop songs that blended rock energy with orchestral textures. The song remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the band's foundational style before they evolved into more complex arrangements in later works.
