The rhyme scheme is very different than anything that we have learned in class. It jumps all over the place. At first it will have a ABAB scheme and stick with that for a stanza. Then it will switch to a AABB and keep that for another stanza and and then it will for to the refrain and go back to the ABAB. This songs likes to switch around alot.
Ex:
It's raining, raining
Ooh baby, it's raining, raining
You can always come here to me
Come in to me
Ooh baby, it's raining, raining
You can always come here to me
Come in to me
It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain
Come in to me, come in to me
It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain
Come in to me, come in to me
Come in to me, come in to me
It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain
Come in to me, come in to me
This song also keeps coming back to a common theme of the umbrella, the rain, and preparing for the rain. When it has the ABAB it has a happy moment, like the friendship and keeping the oaths. When it goes to a AABB it goes to the sad moments like the raining and preparing for the rain.
