After the Rain singalong

Our team of Clown Doctors visit young people in hospitals and hospices and engage them in clowning, storytelling, music, magic, circus skills and improvisation.

They focus on supporting and empowering young patients and their families during what can be a challenging time, tailoring activities thoughtfully and sensitively, putting the individual at the heart of each interaction.

Clown Round has been running since 2008 and visits usually take place at the James Paget, Ipswich, Colchester and Norfolk and Norwich Hospitals and to EACH Hospices in Suffolk and Norfolk.

As part of working with people who they were not able to do face-to-face live sessions with, they created the song After the Rain which is all about the colours of the rainbow and can be sung along to.

After the Rain

Activity

Our much loved After the Rain song made by our Clown Doctors is a song that everyone can join in with. Here are the words and you can also set subtitles to display when watching the song.

♪After the rain when the sun shines through,
There may be rainbows, just for you.
Rainbows are pretty, handsome things,
They pop up just like magic,
with colours we can sing.

Red for roses and hearts,
Oranges make me fart, [RASPBERRY NOISE]
Yellow, sunshine that glows,
Green, what do you mean, I am nature I help things grow,
Blue, for water and tears I need to cry,
Indigo Flamingo,
Round and round in circles,
Violet,
What about pink and purple?
