Toodle-uma-luma-luma.

These are the first lyrics in the chorus of that famous song "The Umbrella Man". Here are some more lyrics.

Does the song come back to you now? I am sure that you are humming the tune right now. This song played a big role in my life. When I was a student at  John C Fremont Junior High School in Pomona, California I entered an amateur hour program (put on by the school) and played this song on my ocarina. The ocarina is a flute made out of clay and has a very pleasant sound. (Amazon has them listed for $12.95)

Mine was red. I must have been a good ocarina player because I got third prize!

    1. Might be hard to get. Buy an ocarina, practice, and shoot video.
