lyrics

i thought the ukulele was just a silly toy
but santa came to show me that i'm a silly boy
now I play ukulele every night and every day
and i want the world to play a little ukulelele

i can fit it in my backpack or hang it from my neck
and when i'm in the mountains i play it while i treck
i play it for the wildlife i meet along the way
'cause i want them all to play a little ukulelele

a little uku uku uku uku
le le le le le le le le

when i feel like trouble follows me around
i sing a little story and strum a little sound
all my little troubles are likely here to stay
so please don't take away my little ukulelele

it's like a little geetar with just the four high strings
always nice to have if you're the kind that always sings
or give one to a bully who has nothing nice to say
'cause they all just need to play a little ukulelele

a little uku uku uku uku
le le le le le le le le

when i feel like trouble follows me around
i sing a little story and strum a little sound
all my little troubles are likely here to stay
so please don't take away my little ukulelele
