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!
