I bought a ukulele so I could learn how to play
I had of few ditties in mind
Some meaningful lyrics I wanted to say

I opened up the box and started with my dog has fleas
Looked up some chords and started strumming with ease
I laid down some tracks, a little sloppy at first
But a few hours in, those chords began to burst

I bought a ukulele so I could learn how to play
I had of few ditties in mind
Really meaningful lyrics in every way

The more I played I realized what I'd been missing
Listen to me now; I wish you could listen
Tiny Tim ain't got nothing on me
I just revised the whole Let It be

I bought a ukulele so I could learn how to play
I had of few ditties in mind
Meaningful lyrics that I needed to say

I sit and play every night
I even play at every red light
I play and sing just walking down the street
Putting a smile on all the faces I meet

I bought a ukulele so I could learn how to play
I had of few ditties in mind
And now I play them every day

I'll play for you any time of the day
Morning or night, believe what I say
I'm at the point I'll take all requests
If I can't play it, I fail the test

I bought a ukulele so I could learn how to play
I had of few ditties in mind
Now I'm sharing them every day

The kind that cut to the heart
The kind that starts a little spark
The kind that get you thinking
That's the music I'm making

I bought a ukulele so I could learn how to play
Now there's music with my ditties
And I share them every day
