UMBRIAGO
From the film "Music for Millions" (1944)
(Irving Caesar / Jimmy Durante) 

Jimmy Durante


I know a fellow
A fellow 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
And of Chicago
Hoo-Hoo!

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
