Is that sung to the tune of "Frere Jacque"? If so, the version I know is:
I hear thunder, I hear thunder
Hush! Don't you? Hush! Don't you?
Pitter-patter raindrops. Pitter-patter raindrops.
I'm wet through. So are you.

Dormez-vous?

Ding, dang, dong!

Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Brother John,
Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing.
Morning bells are ringing.
Ding, dong, ding.
Ding, dong, ding.
(Loose translation of the french version - I like how the dinging noises change in translation)
