Umbriago

Irving Caesar, Jimmy Durante

[Intro]
Everybody wants to get into the act

[Verse 1]
I knew a fellow
A fellow who can make your life so mellow
There's one like him in every town
He's half a man and half a clown
Umbriago
Could be mayor of New York or of Chicago
Umbriago raises cane from Portland, Maine to Santiago
When you worry, better send for Umbriago in a hurry
He's got lots of time
That's all he spends is time
He never spends a dime
So when you feel low
Better send for my friend Umbriago

[Verse 2]
Umbriago
Anytime you try to find him he is eating
Umbriago
In his hand's a man who takes an awful beating
Just last week I sauntered out to my ranch
When I got there, what do I see?
Umbriago milking a cow upside down
And I said, "Umbriago, what's the idea of milking a cow upside down"
And he said, "Why not? I want the cream to come out on top"
So when you feel low
Better send for my friend Umbriago

[Verse 3]
Umbriago
The hepcats really love him
Umbriago
They even like him down in Chile
When you worry
Better send for Umbriago in a hurry
Now he's got lots of time
That's all he spends is time
He never spends a dime
So when you feel low
Better send for my friend Umbriago
