peter bugden Lyr Req: Umbrella Man (Rose/Stock/Cavanaugh) (31) Lyr Add: ANY UMBRELLAS? 19 Jul 99


The words - as I remember them from singing it with my father (now passed on) are as follows;

ANY UMBRELLAS?

Toodle-um-a-duma, Toodle-um-a-duma, Toodle-i-ay
any umbrella any umbrellas to mend today
bring your parasol, it may be small it may be big
he repairs them all, in what he calls a thingumijig.

pitter patter patter, pitter patter patter it looks like rain
let it pitter patter, let it pitter patter, dont mind the rain.
he'l mend your umbrella then go on his way, singing toodle-uma-duma toodle-ay
toodle-uma-duma toodle-ay
any umbrella to mend today

when things are dull
and there's a lull
he sharpens knives
for all the wives
in the neighbourhood
and he's very good
he mends the toys for girls and boys
He'll mend a cart, a broken heart
he'll mend anything, but he'd rather sing
toodle-uma-duma toodle-ay
toodle-uma-duma toodle-ay
any umbrellas to menD today

he'll mend your umbrella then go on his way
singing toodle-uma duma (etc)


I hope this helps, good luck!
