Verse 1:

F                   C7     F
He was such a happy loving Romeo
              C7           F
Till his baby bought a uku-lele-o

C          C7          F   Dm
Now on the porch evr'y eve-ning
G7
She strums her life away
C         Cdim     C7
Sadly you hear him say

Chorus 1:

F
Ukulele baby
            C
Of love I'm singing,
C7           F        C7
But you keep stringing

F           C7     F
You've just got me crazy
            C
The way you roll
      C7          F
Those dreamy eyes around.

A7                        Dm
When you strum that Hicky-Dula
G7                     C   CdimC7
I get warm but you get coo coo cooler

F
Ukulele baby
             C        C7      F   C+
Oh won't you lay your ukulele down

Verse 2:

F
He loved music
C      C7        F
But he loved his lovin' more
                  C
He knew just what lovin'
C7     F
Was in-vented for

C             C7            F    Dm
So when she'd start to play love songs
G7
He'd start to sigh to her
C             Cdim   C7
He'd start to cry to her

Chorus 2:

F
Ukulele baby
              C
My love keeps growing,
C7           F       C7
But you keep "No-ing"

F           C7     F
You've just got me crazy
The way you
C    C7       F
Hula Hula all around

A7                   Dm
I'm not here to WickiWacki
G7                       C    CdimC7
Don't forget you live in Hack-in-sacki

Chorus 3:

F
Ukulele baby
           C7
Your kicki koo-in
           F   C7
Will be my ruin

F           C7     F
You've just got me crazy
The way you
C     C7         F
Uke-A-Lyptus all around

A7                 Dm
I don't like to be complaining
G7                        C  CdimC7
But there's other ways of en-ter-tain-ing

F
Ukulele baby
             C        C7      F
Oh won't you lay your ukulele down
