I know a little song about the ukulele
That’s my favorite instrument to hear
And I can’t help but sing it daily
It’s a happy sound in my ear

Ukulele, uku-lay, Ukulele, uku-li
Strum, strum, strummin’ in December or July
Ukulele, uku-lo, ukulele, uku-loo
It’s a pretty little tune, and now you’re singing it too!

A ukulele is like a little guitar,
But it only has four strings
It came from Hawaii and spread near and far
And oh, what joy it brings

CHORUS

Uku-lay, uku-li, uku-lo, uku-loo
I’m glad I got to share this little ditty with you!
