I am an Umbrella
I am an umbrella
and I’m here to help you out
in the drizzle and the piddle
when you have to leave the house.
I thrive in rotten weather,
it means I have a job to do.
A rainy day is better,
it means I get to be with you.
and I’m here to help you out
in the drizzle and the piddle
when you have to leave the house.
I thrive in rotten weather,
it means I have a job to do.
A rainy day is better,
it means I get to be with you.
