Maria's Umbrella likes lazing in the sun\\
So I took her to the seaside to see what could be done\\
And while we were swimmming a-swimming in the sea\\
The men with knotted handkerchiefs\\
They laughed at me\\

Maria's Umbrella's telling all the boys and girls\\
She says she wants to travel far\\
She says she wants to see the world\\
She says she wants to be a stowaway\\
And sail away to sea\\
Maria's Umbrella said\\
"That's the life for me"\\

La La La La La La La La\\

She sailed across the sea she said\\
She sailed across the sea\\
To meet [[the man who rode the tiger]]\\
In the land of [[Jammy dee]]\\
She said she didn't mean to frighten him\\
By stepping on his toe\\
The tiger bit Maria and Maria went home\\

La La La La La La La La\\
La La La La La La La La\\

I hope you like this story and I hope you understand why\\
Don't open your umbrella's inside\\
Don't open your umbrellas inside.\\
