THE UMBRELLA MAN
(Vincent Rose / Larry Stock / James Cavanaugh)

Toodle-uma-luma, Toodle-uma-luma, toodle-aye-ay
Any umbarellas, any umbarellas to mend today?
Bring your parasol. It may be small. it may be big.
He repairs them all with what you call a thingamajig.
Pitter-patter-patter, pitter-patter-patter! Here comes the rain.
Let it pitter-patter. Let it pitter-patter. Don't mind the rain.
He'll mend your umbrella then go on his way
Singing, "Toodle-uma-luma, toodle-ay,
Toodle-uma-luma, toodle-ay!
Any umbarellas to mend today?"

When there's a lull
And things are dull,
He sharpens knives
For all the wives
In the neighbourhood
And he's very good.

He'll darn a sock.
He'll mend a clock,
An apple cart,
A broken heart.
He mends anything
But he'd rather sing:

Toodle-uma-luma, toodle-uma-luma, toodle-aye-ay
Any umbarellas, any umbarellas to mend today?
Bring your parasol. It may be small. It may be big.
He repairs them all with what you call a thingamajig.
Pitter-patter-patter, pitter-patter-patter! Here comes the rain.
Let it pitter-patter. Let it pitter-patter. Don't mind the rain.
He'll patch up your troubles then go on his way
Singing, "Toodle-uma-luma, toodle-ay,
Toodle-uma-luma, toodle-ay!
Any umbarellas to mend today?"

He'll patch up your troubles then go on his way
Singing, "Toodle-uma-luma, toodle-ay,
Toodle-uma-luma, toodle-ay!
Any umbarellas to mend today?"
