lyrics

LYRICS:

I'm the giant squid, I'm a very happy fella
since the day I found me lucky umbrella
It begins with Um and ends in ella!
It's me lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky umbrella

“So how did you find your lucky umbrella?!” I hear you ask in adoration and astonishment! Well I’ll tell you…

One day I was swimming in the deep blue sea
Wondering at what I should have for tea
When suddenly I spy with me giant squid eye
A jolly little brolly oh a diddly dum dee dye

I'm the giant squid I'm a very happy fella
since the day I found me lucky umbrella
It begins with Um and ends in ella!
It's me lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky umbrella

“But what was it doing there?!”, I hear you cry in bewilderment and bafflement?
Well, I'll tell you….

I saw it on a wreck with a very bony fella
it didn't seem to him to be a lucky umbrella
He had fallen from the deck and with my tentacle
I took the brolley and an arm, he didn't mind at all.

I'm the giant squid, I'm a very happy fella
since the day I found me lucky umbrella
It begins with Um and ends in ella!
It's me lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky umbrella

“So how is it lucky?!” I hear you ask in eagerness and excitement??
Well...

Since I have come into the possession of this umbrella
I have never been rained on, never set fire to myself, or drowned
I have swum with dolphins, done a TED talk, and met you!

I'm the giant squid, I'm a very happy fella
since the day I found me lucky umbrella
It begins with Um and ends in ella!
It's me lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky umbrella!

So , how can I help you today, are you looking for something? The umbrella is mine but I think I have some delicious fish bones somewhere. Wonderful in stews on those summer evenings round a campfire…. I imagine. Oh I know who you’re looking for, Pearl! I saw her only this morning. She was getting ready for the Mermaid Ball. Are you coming? It’s happening in about 5 minutes. And I don’t know which hat to wear. This one is rather casual and the Titanic is sooo heavy. It’s so hard to dance a waltz when one is weighed down by an ocean liner. Not to worry, for I have my lucky umbrella. I’m sure something will turn up. See you at the ball!

I'm the giant squid I'm a very happy fella
since the day I found me lucky umbrella
It begins with Um and ends in ella!
It's me lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky....

I'm the giant squid I'm a very happy fella
since the day I found me lucky umbrella
It begins with Um and ends in ella!
It's me lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky umbrella!
