Under My Umbrella 1933

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 17 May 2002

I heard the thunder crash,
I saw the lightnin' flash,
The rain was teeming from the skies;
When through the mist ahead,
I saw two lips so red,
and what a pair of smiling eyes!

Under my umbrella,
on a stormy night
I found my Cinderella;
In my throat I felt a lump,
and my heart began to jump,
bumping under my umbrella.
She stood in a doorway,
so I tipped my hat and said:
"I'm going your way,
Would you like to come along?
Oh, I know it won't be wrong,
Please get under my umbrella!"
She just whisper'd with a smile:
"How romantic this is!"
And then in a little while,
It was raining kisses.
Under my umbrella,
what a happy girl and mighty lucky fella,
Now a shower brings delight,
it reminds me of the night
we met under my umbrella.

Under my umbrella,
on a stormy night
I found my Cinderella;
In my throat I felt a lump,
and my heart began to jump,
bumping under my umbrella.
She stood in a doorway,
so I tipped my hat and said:
"I'm going your way,
Would you like to come along?
Oh, I know it won't be wrong,
Please get under my umbrella!"
She just whisper'd with a smile:
"How romantic this is!"
And then in a little while,
It was raining kisses.
Under my umbrella,
what a happy girl and mighty lucky fella,
Now a shower brings delight,
it reminds me of the night
we met under my umbrella.

In dreams I hear so plain,
the patter of the rain,
again I wind my way along.
Once more I reach that street,
Once more the world grows sweet,
as silv'ry rain drops sing love songs.

Under my umbrella,
on a stormy night
I found my Cinderella;
In my throat I felt a lump,
and my heart began to jump,
bumping under my umbrella.
She stood in a doorway,
so I tipped my hat and said:
"I'm going your way,
Would you like to come along?
Oh, I know it won't be wrong,
Please get under my umbrella!"
She just whisper'd with a smile:
"How romantic this is!"
And then in a little while,
It was raining kisses.
Under my umbrella,
what a happy girl and mighty lucky fella,
Now a shower brings delight,
it reminds me of the night
we met under my umbrella.
