{t: GF - Little Ukulele [C] } {key: C} {artist:George Formby} [C] Now everybody's [G7] got a crazy notion of their [C] own [F] Some like to mix up with a [C] crowd, some [D7] like to be [G7] alone It's no [F] one else's business, as [C] far as I can see But [D7] every time that I go out the people stare at [G7] me {c: } With my [C] little ukulele in my hand [C7] Of [F] course the people do not [C] understand Some [G7] say, 'Why don't you be a scamp? Why [C] don't you read a book?' But [D7] I get lots more pleasure when I'm playing with me [G7] uke! Of [C] course I take no [E7] notice you [Am] can tell [C7] For [F] mother's sound advice will always [G7] stand She said 'My [C] boy do as I [E7] say And you'll [A7] never go [Dm] astray [G7] If you [C] keep your uku-[G7]-lele in your [C] hand, [E7] Yes [A7] son! [D7] Keep your [G7] ukulele in your [C] hand {c: } While [C] walking on the [G7] prom one night as [C] peaceful as can be When [F] some young girl said, "What about a [D7] walk down by the [G7] sea?" She [F] said her name was Jen and that she'd [C] just come for the day, She [D7] looked so young and harmless that I couldn't turn a-[G7]-way. {c: } So with me [C] little ukulele in my hand [C7] [F] Me and Jen we walked along the [C] sand We [G7] walked along for miles without a [C] single care or frown, But [D7] when we reached the sand dunes, she said, "Come on lets sit down." [G7] I [C] felt so shy and [E7] bashful sitting [Am] there [C7] Cause the [F] things she said I didn't under-[G7]-stand She said, "Your [C] love just makes me [E7] dizzy [Am] Come on big boy get [Dm] busy!" [D7] But I kept a [G7] ukulele in my [C] hand [E7] Yes [A7] sir! [D7] I kept my [G7] ukulele in my [C] hand! {c: } [C] Made up my mind that [G7] I'd get wed some [C] eighteen months ago, I [F] also bought a book about [D7] the things a boy should [G7] know. But [F] just about a week ago I [C] had an awful fright, I [D7] had to get dressed quickly in the middle of the [G7] night. And with my [C] little ukulele in my hand, [C7] I went [F] running down the street to Doctor [C] Brand. It [G7] didn't take him long to get his [C] bag of tools I [D7] held his hat and coat and let him have me book of [G7] rules [C] Out the bedroom [E7] door he looked and [Am] smiled [C7] He said, [F] "Come inside and see your wife and [G7] child!" My [C] heart it filled with [E7] joy I could [A7] see it was a [Dm] boy [D7] For he [G7] had a ukulele in his [C] hand [E7] Oh [A7] Baby! [D7] He had a [G7] ukulele in his [C] hand!
