The words to the Greymouth / West Coast official anthem:

It rained and rained and rained
The average fall was well maintained
And when the tracks were simple bogs
It started raining cats and dogs

After  a drought of half an hour
We had a most refressing shower
and then most curious of all
A gentile rain began to fall

Next day for one was fairly dry
Save for one deluge from the sky
Which wetted the party to the skin
And then at last the Rain set in.
