Bette Midler — Yellow Beach Umbrella

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
