The Sunflowers: Music & Lyrics
I Love the Ukulele (lyrics)
(The Sunflowers)
Words and Music-- M. T. Fontaine
Maybe you know
How some people go
For honky tonk piano
And it's excitin' for some
Hearin' the drums
Beatin' with the band
It might be your taste
To hear the bass
Layin' down a line, oh, so low
But as for me
I love the ukulele
Could be you choose
The sound of the blues
Harmonica playin'
When they hear violin
Some folks begin
Grinnin' ear to ear
And 'cause playin' kazoo
Is easy to do
You like to rooty-toot-ta-toot-to-toot
But as for me
I love the ukulele
'Cause it takes me away
When I hear someone play ukulele
To where I wanna be
Where the sand greets the sea in Hawaii
I'm talkin' Waikiki
I see how your thing
Could be a five-string
Banjo player pickin'
And how you might think it's tops
To hear a flat top
Guitar picker too
Oh how a mandolin fill
Can give you a thrill
Make you sing yodel-odelay-hee-hoo
But as for me
I love the ukulele
But as for me
I love the ukulele
