[Intro]
C C7 Fsus2 G7sus4 G7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
C C7
Sid Vicious played a four-string Fender bass guitar and couldn't sing
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
And everybody hated him except the ones who loved him
C C7
A ukulele has four strings, but Sid did not play ukulele
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
He did smack and probably killed his girlfriend Nancy Spungen
[Verse 2]
C C7 Fsus2
If only Sid had had a ukulele, maybe he would have been happy
G7sus4 G7
Maybe he would not have suffered such a sad end
C C7
He maybe would have not done all that heroin instead
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
He maybe would've sat around just singing nice songs to his girlfriend
[Chorus]
C C7
So play your favorite cover song, especially if the words are wrong
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
'cause even if your grades are bad, it doesn't mean you're failing
C C7
Do your homework with a fork and eat your fruit loops in the dark
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
And bring your etch-a-sketch to work and play your ukulele
[Bridge]
Fsus2 G7
Ukulele, small and fierceful, ukulele, brave and peaceful
C Fsus2
You can play the ukulele, too, it is painfully simple
Fsus2 G7
Play your ukulele badly, play your ukulele loudly
Bb6
Ukulele banish evil, ukulele save the people
Bb6
Ukulele gleaming golden from the top of every steeple
[Verse 3]
C C7
Lizzie borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
Then gave her father forty-one and left a tragic puzzle
C C7
If only they had given her an instrument, those puritans
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
Had lost the plot completely, see what happens when you muzzle
[Verse 4]
C C7
A person's creativity and do not let them sing and scream
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
And nowadays it's worse, 'cause kids have automatic handguns
C C7
It takes about an hour to teach someone to play the ukulele
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
About the same to teach someone to build a standard pipe bomb, you do the
math!
