"Ukulele Man" lyrics - TONY ORLANDO AND DAWN

Used to be a drifter
Twelve-string guitar was always by my side
Played with a lot of pride, and the people cried

And one night at a party
I heard this strumming sound, some ukulele fun
I started singing along with everyone

The Ukulele Man is what I've been since then

Ukulele Man (Ukulele Man)
People say I can (People say I can)
Play a happy little song for everyone to sing along

They call me Ukulele Man (Ukulele Man)
Straw hat, cane and maybe I can sing a tune
Beneath the moon, Ukulele Man

You can call me ragtime music [dot do do do]
Or good ole rock and roll, I don't care what it is
Hey, it's just the good time feelin' yes it is

And I'm givin' you this message (dot do do do)
In no way is it healthy, ah but it's so much fun
I want to share it with you, one to one

This Ukulele Man, wants to hold your hand

Ukulele Man (Ukulele Man)
People say I can (People say I can)
Play a happy little song for everyone to sing along

They call me Ukulele Man (Ukulele Man)
Straw hat, cane and maybe I can sing a tune
Beneath the moon, Ukulele Man
Ah that's me

[Key change, instrumentals, whistling, ah]

This Ukulele Man, wants to hold your hand

Ukulele Man (Ukulele Man)
People say I can (People say I can)
Play a happy little song for everyone to sing along [repeat and fade]
