Loudon Wainwright Iii - Got A Ukulele lyrics

Got a ukulele now I'm not a fraidy Cat in case I get a bout of blues In the event I get 'em There's no way that I'll let 'em Bring me down no way I'll just refuse (believe me) 'Cause a ukulele's like a little baby You cradle it in your arms and you sing A lullaby or ditty When you're feeling sh*tty It will cheer you up It's just the thing Life should be bright and breezy Winds could be light and easy There's nothing hard or heavy 'bout a uke I don't play bull fiddle No mystery no riddle Schleppin' that thing you look like a kook 4 strings made of nylon Always put a smile on Anybody's face who's feelin' blue When your mind starts slummin' Start a little strummin' on your uke And you're gonna feel brand new (you gotta believe me) Even though it's rainin' Quit all your complainin' Your roof's not leakin' nothin's gettin' in This axe is a hatchet there's magic you can catch it On your uke you can't lose you just win Life should be bright and breezy Winds could be light and easy There's nothin' hard or heavy 'bout a uke I don't play the tuba tuba's do it to ya Just the thought of tubas makes me puke Kind sirs and gentle ladies grab your ukuleles I suspect by now you know my song And the next time that I do it Get down and get into it I trust you all will sing and strum along (you gotta believe me)
