Comic song about a choir singing in the rain.
I have provided two versions, one for men's voices (alto, tenor 1, tenor 2 and bass) and one for mixed choir (soprano alto tenor bass).
The sound sample is my own multitrack performance of the men's voices version.
A live performance of the SATB version can be heard on youtube at:

Humorous piece for male voice choir about a choir singing in the rain and the results....
The performance is an electronic preview (on brass instruments)
A video of the piece sung by the composer in multitrack (in a higher key) can be seen at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GszKEJpV4jw
versions for SATB and ATBarB choirs are also available.
For the purposes of this particular combination of voices I have changed the words a little:
"Pitter patter pom (etc)
Our conductor was trying to train
Our choir to sing in the rain
The music got wet
and to our great regret
We finally had to refrain
So all of us went back indoors
And sang from our poor dripping scores
The audience cheered
as we persevered
and demanded several encores
It was then that we all started sneezing
The basses were coughing and wheezing
Second tenors in harm'ny
sniffed not very calmly
But the audience thaught we were teasing
[nyer nyer!]
First tenors then noticed their DJs
were shrinking and giving no leeways
the buttons they popped
and the baritones hopped
as those buttons shot right past their faces
It seemed that the choir was dissolving
and the room started slowly revolving
We'd all caught a cough
It near carried us off
as the fever we'd caught was evolving
We finally reached the last ditty
In that chilly and rain sodden city
Oh we're told that in Spain
It just rains on the plain
But here it soaks both plain ... and pretty!
