You and I sat and ate
Drank some hot tea
Curious, you asked me
What you had brought
And I answered. What?

It's just a simple ukulele
Ukulele-e
It's just a simple ukulele
Ukulele-e

You asked me what it was
What kind of strange device
Maybe a nice scientific gentleman
Experimented with a guitar
And I answered. What?

It's just a simple ukulele
Ukulele-e
It's just a simple ukulele
Ukulele-e

It has its original tune
Notes caper in an amazing way
Playful soft nylon strings
And kids' fingers will not hurt
Let's sing again! Yes!

It's just a simple ukulele
Ukulele-e
It's just a simple ukulele
Ukulele-e
