There is so much to love about ukuleles! They have such a happy sound, they are pretty easy to play and are light enough to carry along, pretty much anywhere!

It’s hard to be sad and play a ukulele. Maybe Arthur Fields and Fred Hall said it best in their 1923 song “I Love a Ukulele”!

“I Love a Ukulele” lyrics:
Ifʼn I must confess
I owe my happiness
Not to the flowers,
Not to trees,
Not to the birds,
Not to the Bees,
Not to a night in June,
Not to the silvery moon…

I love a ukulele
I love to strum it gaily
I love to hum while I strum, strum, strum, strum

I know the song’s Hawaiian
Starts my sweet sweetie sighin’
We softly harmonize as we hum

I know what I’m doin’
I never go wrong
At home or canoeing,
I’m strumming along

Some sweet Hawaiian ditty,
Gee, don’t they write ’em pretty
I love a ukulele song
