It’s mighty hard to have to tell
About the umbrella she liked so well!
About the umbrella she liked so well!
’T was standing right in the front hail,
And no one seemed to need it then.
It did n't look like rain a bit,
So I just thought I ‘d borrow it
To make a tent for circus men.

We jammed the handle in the ground,
And propped it up with Michael's hoe;
Then Tommy tied his flag on that,
While I ran off to get the cat
To be the el’phant in our show.

That pussy was the meanest thing!
Just when we ’d got her in all right,
She clawed the side of our silk tent,
And tore a whopping, great big rent,
Then scooted through it, out of sight!
