The Disney Studio Chorus is not a single performer, but rather a rotating group of professional vocalists assembled by Walt Disney Studios over the decades.
They have played a vital yet often behind-the-scenes role in shaping the rich, magical soundscapes of Disney’s most popular movies, TV shows, and theme park music.

The Rain Came Down Lyrics
Chorus
The rain, rain, rain came down, down, down
In rushing, rising riv’lets
‘Til the river crept out of its bed
And crept right into Piglet’s
Poor Piglet, he was frightened
With quite a rightful fright
And so in desperation
A message he did write
He placed it in a bottle
And it floated out of sight
And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down
So Piglet started bailing
He was unaware, atop his chair
While bailing, he was sailing
And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down
And the flood rose up, up, upper
Pooh, too, was caught and so he thought
Pooh
I must rescue my supper
Chorus
Ten honey pots he rescued
Enough to see him through
But as he sopped up his supper
The river sopped up Pooh
And the water twirled and tossed him
In a honey pot canoe
Rain, rain, rain came down, down, down
When the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down
(repeat until fade)
