Rain's not good for suede

Tonight I made up a song for Ken and Mari as I was hurrying through the rain. Set to a 2/3s tapping....
Rain's not good for suede,
rain's not good for suede.
It is cold and wet and dark and
rain's not good for suede.
I am hurrying home
to see my wife and son.
And I couldn't wait
to say "hi" to everyone.
Rain's not good for suede, they say,
much to my remorse.
But it's a long way from the station,
and I had no recourse.
