Verse 1:

Love comes along
Like a popular song, 
Any time or anywhere at all.
Rain or sunshine, spring or fall;
You never know
When it may say, "Hello,"
In a very unexpected place;
For example, take my case:

Chorus:

It was a lucky April shower,
It was the most convenient door,
I found a million dollar baby in a five and ten cent store.
The rain continued for an hour,
I hung around for three or four,
Around a million dollar baby in a five and ten cent store.
She was selling china and when she made those eyes,
I kept buying china until the crowd got wise.
Incident'lly, if you should run into a shower,
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby from the five and ten cent store!

Verse 2:

Love used to be 
Quite a stranger to me,
Didn't know a sentimental word;
Thoughts of kissing seemed absurd.
Then came a change,
And you may think it strange,
But the world became a happy tune,
Since that April afternoon.

[Chorus]
