Toodle - lumma lumma
Toodle - lumma lumma
Toodle - aye-aaaaa
Any umbrellas, any umbrellas
To mend today?
Bring your parasol, it may be small. It may be big
He'll repair them all with what you call a thing-a-ma-jig
Pitter patter patter! Pitter patter patter!
It looks like rain.
Let it pitter patter. Let it pitter patter.
Who minds the rain?
He'll mend your umbrellas, then go on his way
Singing toodle lumma lumma.
Toodle lumma lumma.
Any umbrellas to mend today.
When there's a lull
And things are dull
He'll sharpen knives for all the wives
In the neighborhood
And he's very good.
He'll darn a sock
Or fix a clock
An apple cart
A broken heart --
He'll mend anything
but he'd much rather sing -
Toodle - lumma lumma
Toodle - lumma lumma
Toodle-aye-aaa
Any umbrellas - any umbrellas
To mend today?
He'll mend your umbrella
Then go on his way singing
Toodle lumma lumma
Toodle lumma lumma
Any umbrellas to mend today
The Umbrella Man
Kay Kyser
The rain today reminded me of this song - and my mother. It was one of her favorites.
Where is that umbrella man when you need him???
