I placed a bet once on a horse I can't forget that day Put my last two bucks on the mare named Luck She ran the other way I love my banjolele My ukulanjolele I love to play it daily It's always out of tune Seems every time I take a walk I get lost in the park So I eat nothing but garlic now You can find me in the dark I'll be playing my banjolele My ukulanjolele I love to play it daily It's always out of tune It's twelve o'clock, I'm trying to sleep The neighbors are watching TV The blue light blinking through my windowpane And the noise don't bother me I'll just play my banjolele My ukulanjolele I love to play it daily It's always out of tune To the fella who took my bike I hope that you enjoy it you can ride it if you like but please do not destroy it I love my banjolele My ukulanjolele I love to play it daily It's always out of tune Some days are bad, some are worse Most are simply terrible There's one thing I like to sing To make them somewhat bearable I love my banjolele My ukulanjolele I love to play it daily It's always out of tune
