Bette Midler - Buckets Of Rain Lyrics
[Bette:] Ohh-oh, Ohh-oh, ah
Sing to me baby, baby.
Buckets, nuggets of rain.
[Bette & Bob:] Nuggets of rain,
Got all the nuggets
comin' out of my ears.
Nuggets of moonbeams
in my hand.
You got all the love,
honey baby, I can stand.
I been down, high like an oak.
I've seen pretty people
disappear like smoke.
friends will disappear.
You want me,
honey baby, I'll be here.
[Bette:] Oh-oh, I'll be here.
Ooooooh.
Sing to me baby, baby, baby.
Buckets of rain.
[Bette & Bob:] I like your smile
and your fingertips.
I like the way that you move your lips.
I like that heavenly way
you look at me.
Everything about you is bringing me ecstasy.
Little red wagon,
little red bike.
I ain't no monkey
but I know what I like.
I like the way you monkey around.
Stick with me baby
and we'll never be found.
Life is heavy
and life is sad.
Life is a bust
when you think you've been had.
You lose, you must do
and you do it bad.
I do it for you,
honey baby, ain't you glad?
[Bette:] Oh, Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ooooh.
Bobby, Bobby,
hey there Mister D,
you set me free. Yeah.
I don't believe I really said that.
[Bob:] "Hum, meany."
[Bette:] "Oooh, you don't even know. You have no idea."
[Bob:] "I don't want to know . . . . .
You and Paul Simon should have done this one."

Bette Midler Buckets Of Rain Comments
Everything about you is bringing me ecstacy?
Yuck.
Yucked out by an "overwhelming feeling of great happiness or joyful excitement?" ..that's a sad life to live!
@Anthony Canney the original line is 'misery', of course, because that fits with the entire song and the album.
....ma quanto sono bravi!!
this is absolutely delightful and it will never stop making me happy
Bobbie & Bette - a class act.
bob's laugh at the end gave it away, they were just fooling around with this song
Steve Fowler
Haha Bette and Bob, great combo. This is awesome. Bette is my fave. I saw her at the Manchester Arena and she was fab. Best song from this album alongside Old Cape Cod. x
This version is called Nuggets of Rain.
Produced by Moogy Klingman.. RIP
Come on now Bette had some nice legs
And that amazing smile and set of lungs. Lol x
woohoohoo x great
Love the song - love this version - what´s the story of Bob and Bet ?
Haha it is a great story. Bette spoke in an interview about her night with Bob and that is all I will say. Lol.
Legend has it, Bette was slated to duet w Paul Simon on his version of "Gone At Last". During the recording session, there were "artistic differences", and Bette stormed out. Paul then recruited Phoebe Snow to take over on the gospel track and became one of the singles released off Still Crazy After All These Years. Bette in turn enlisted the help of Dylan, another "fellow Jew" and recorded his Buckets of Rain, adding that gospel back beat. Near the end you can hear Dylan asking "Won't you give Paul Simon a chance"? Sadly this track was never released as a single since disco was then reaching it's peak...

Appreciated, Randall...I can not imagine a day in Bob's life. I'm assuming it's like many of us to the tenth power!
Nuggets of rain
I love how you did this, I haven't heard these songs since I had them on 8 track.

Cool....Bob & Bette
why isn't this album on iTunes?
whats the bit at the end where she say's i dont believe i just said that and he says something about paul simon
For some weird reason I listened to out-takes from this session. They are just fooling around and Bette is talking about a previous session with Paul Simon and that he got really mad at her. She was also insinuating other stuff about Paul Simon seemingly to make Dylan mad too.
