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. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

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) ------------- |
