IF I HAD A GOLDEN UMBRELLA
(Bob Merrill)
Diana Decker - 1954

 
If I had a golden umbrella
With the sunshine on the inside
And a rainbow on the outside
If I had a golden umbrella
What a wonderful world it would be

Your heart can get so melancholy
When the bright skies you're under
Turn to lightnin' and thunder
The blues come along like a trolley
Just clangin' around on a spree

But if I had a golden umbrella
Such wonderful things could be done
When it stormed up above
All the folks that I loved
Could Come under and laugh in the sunlight

If I had a golden umbrella
With the sunshine on the inside
And a rainbow on the outside
If I had a golden umbrella
What a wonderful world it would be

Your heart can get so melancholy
When the bright skies you're under
Turn to lightnin' and thunder
The blues come along like a trolley
Just clangin' around on a spree

But if I had a golden umbrella
Such wonderful things could be done
SPOKEN:
"When it's stormy up above
I could ask all the folks I know
And 'cause I love 'em
They could come under my umbrella
And we'd all laugh and laugh in the sunlight"
Hah-hah

If I had a golden umbrella
With the sunshine on the inside
And a rainbow on the outside
If I had a golden umbrella
What a wonderful world it would be
What a wonderful world it would be
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world it would be
Hah-hah-huh
