GF has his uke retuned in the vid to a, D, F#, B) – George Formby<\/h6>\n

[G7<\/em>]<\/strong> Come on and hear my [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> ukulele,
\n[F<\/em>]<\/strong> come on and hear, come on and hear.
\n[G7<\/em>]<\/strong> I give a demon[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>stration daily, [F<\/em>]<\/strong> right over here, right over here.
\nWalk [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> up, walk up [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> chalk this one up to me,
\nwhenever I play the [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> world goes gay The [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>ele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man is here.<\/p>\n

I’m the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Ukulele Man, [F<\/em>]<\/strong> come and listen if you [Am<\/em>]<\/strong> can [F<\/em>]<\/strong>
\nThe Children love to [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> hear me [F<\/em>]<\/strong> play,
\nthey even [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> make their [F<\/em>]<\/strong> mothers stay
\nAnd [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> stand and listen all the day to the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>lele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.<\/p>\n

[F<\/em>]<\/strong> When I [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> out with my [Bb<\/em>]<\/strong> little black case,
\n[D7<\/em>]<\/strong> the strangest things o[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>ccur,
\nA [F<\/em>]<\/strong> lady smiled and [Bb<\/em>]<\/strong> asked me in, [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> I stood and [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> looked at [F<\/em>]<\/strong> her.
\n[Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> She said, “Oh doctor, look at this” to undress she be-[C<\/em>]<\/strong>gan
\nI [F<\/em>]<\/strong> shut my eyes and shouted “[Eb<\/em>]<\/strong> Stop, I’m the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>lele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.<\/p>\n

I’m the Ukulele Man, [C<\/em>]<\/strong> I’m the [Dm<\/em>]<\/strong> Ukulele [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> Man
\nI’m [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> not a [F<\/em>]<\/strong> doctor [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> that’s quite [F<\/em>]<\/strong> true,
\nbut I prescribe a [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> tonic, too.
\nJust [F<\/em>]<\/strong> smile and you’ll come smiling [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> through
\nwith the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>lele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.<\/p>\n

[F<\/em>]<\/strong> When I go [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> out with my [Bb<\/em>]<\/strong> little black case, [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> some people get me [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> wrong.
\nA [F<\/em>]<\/strong> nice young lady [Bb<\/em>]<\/strong> said to me, [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> I’m glad you [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> came a-[F<\/em>]<\/strong>long,
\nI’d [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> like to see your underwear, please show me all you [C<\/em>]<\/strong> can
\nI [F<\/em>]<\/strong> said, “You won’t see none of [Eb<\/em>]<\/strong> mine, I’m the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>lele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.<\/p>\n

I’m the Ukulele Man, I’m the [C<\/em>]<\/strong> Ukulele [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> Man
\nI’m [C<\/em>]<\/strong> not a salesman [F<\/em>]<\/strong> you can guess, but I sell something [Dm<\/em>]<\/strong> none the less,
\nSo [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> come and buy some happiness from the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>lele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.<\/p>\n

When I go out with my [Bb<\/em>]<\/strong> little black case, the [G7<\/em>]<\/strong> strangest jobs I [C<\/em>]<\/strong> get
\nA [F<\/em>]<\/strong> lady shouted [Bb<\/em>]<\/strong> out one day “[D7<\/em>]<\/strong> Don’t clean those [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> windows [F<\/em>]<\/strong> yet,
\nI’m [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> in my bath so go away” but promptly in I [C<\/em>]<\/strong> ran.
\n[F<\/em>]<\/strong> I’m not cleaning [Bb<\/em>]<\/strong> windows now, I’m the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>lele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.<\/p>\n

I’m the Ukulele Man, I’m the [C<\/em>]<\/strong> Ukulele [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.
\nThough [C<\/em>]<\/strong> cleaning windows [F<\/em>]<\/strong> I refuse, I’ve got a happy [Dm<\/em>]<\/strong> piece of news
\nI’ll [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> come and clean up all your blues, I’m the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>lele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.<\/p>\n

Boys and girls come out to play, [C<\/em>]<\/strong> for it is a [F<\/em>]<\/strong> lovely day
\nLeave your suppers and make hay hay with the [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Uku-[C7<\/em>]<\/strong>lele [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Man.<\/p>\n
