[Opening]
[G7]Come on and hear my [C7]ukulele,
[F]come on and hear, come on and hear.
[G7]I give a demon[C7]stration daily, [F]right over here, right over here.
Walk [D7]up, walk up [Gm]chalk this one up to me,
whenever I play the [C7]world goes gay The [F]Uku[C7]ele [F]Man is here.

[verse 2]
I’m the [F]Ukulele Man, [F] come and listen if you [Am]can [F]
The Children love to [C7]hear me [F]play,
they even [C7]make their [F]mothers stay
And [Gm]stand and listen all the day to the [F]Uku[C7]lele [F]Man.

[verse 3]
[F]When I [D7]out with my [Bb]little black case,
[D7]the strangest things o[C7]ccur,
A [F]lady smiled and [Bb]asked me in, [D7]I stood and [C7]looked at [F]her.
[Gm]She said, “Oh doctor, look at this” to undress she be[C]gan
I [F]shut my eyes and shouted “[D#]Stop, I’m the [F]Uku[C7]lele [F]Man.

[verse 4]
I’m the Ukulele Man, [C]I’m the [Dm]Ukulele [D7]Man
I’m [C7]not a [F]doctor [C7]that’s quite [F]true,
but I prescribe a [C7]tonic, too.
Just [F]smile and you’ll come smiling [C7]through
with the [F]Uku[C7]lele [F]Man.

[verse 5]
[F]When I go [D7]out with my [Bb]little black case, [D7]some people get me [C7]wrong.
A [F]nice young lady [Bb]said to me, [D7]I’m glad you [C7]came a[F]long,
I’d [Gm]like to see your underwear, please show me all you [C]can
I [F]said, “You won’t see none of [D#]mine, I’m the [F]Uku[C7]lele [F]Man.

[verse 6]
I’m the Ukulele Man, I’m the [C]Ukulele [D7]Man
I’m [C]not a salesman [F]you can guess, but I sell something [Dm]none the less,
So [Gm]come and buy some happiness from the [F]Uku[C7]lele [F]Man.

[verse 7]
When I go out with my [Bb]little black case, the [G7]strangest jobs I [C]get
A [F]lady shouted [Bb]out one day “[D7]Don’t clean those [C7]windows [F]yet,
I’m [Gm]in my bath so go away” but promptly in I [C]ran.
[F]I’m not cleaning [Bb]windows now, I’m the [F]Uku[C7]lele [F]Man.

[verse 8]
I’m the Ukulele Man, I’m the [C]Ukulele [D7]Man.
Though [C]cleaning windows [F]I refuse, I’ve got a happy [Dm]piece of news
I’ll [Gm]come and clean up all your blues, I’m the [F]Uku[C7]lele [F]Man.

[Closing]
Boys and girls come out to play, [C]for it is a [F]lovely day
Leave your suppers and make hay hay with the [F]Uku[C7]lele [F]Man.
