Yellow Beach Umbrella - Bette Midler

When I am a flyer, I’ll fly down to Miami

Get a room in one of those big resort hotels

And nobody there will ever get to know me well

And nobody there will ever get to know me well

I’ll be just another yellow beach umbrella

On the shore of the southern sea

I’ll be a mystery to everyone

I won’t take you along with me

When I am a driver, I’ll drive to Pensacola

Sleep in the sand whether the weather

Brings sunshine or rain

And nobody there will ever get to know my name, oh no

And nobody there will ever get to know my name

I’ll be just another yellow beach umbrella

On the shore of the southern sea

Mmm, I’ll be a mystery to everyone

I won’t take you along with me

When I am a rider, I’ll ride up to Tempico

Ohh, don’t telephone honey

Your money’d be wasted on a telegram

'cause nobody there will ever find out who I am

Nobody there will ever find me!

I’ll be just another big bright umbrella

On the shore of the southern sea

Gonna be a mystery to everyone

I won’t take you along with me

Alone.

All alone.

On my own

So happy to be gone, gone, gone, gone

To new news and new faces

New feuds and new places

Underneath my yellow umbrella

Won’t be holdin' hands

With a mobster fella

Mmm, I’m in the mood to be

Swimmin' in the nude

Sinnin' too.

Too bad you

Won’t be there to see

Grand.

Feels so grand

Lying in the sand

Just working on this tan of mine

Ohh, you know I think that life

Is just the greatest thing

Goodbye!

It’s goodbye, darling

Your turn to cry

And you know good and well why, darling

Why you got the gong

I was into you to long
