[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

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!
[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 flask of jack to work and play your ukulele
[Bridge]

Ukulele, thing of wonder, ukulele, wand of thunder
C Fsus2
You can play the ukulele, too, in London and down under

Imagine there's no music, imagine there are no songs
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
Imagine that John Lennon wasn't shot in front of his apartment
C C7 Fsus2
Now imagine if John Lennon had composed "Imagine" for the ukulele
G7sus4 G7
Maybe people would have truly got the message
[Verse 6]
C C7
You may think my approach is simple-minded and naive
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
Like if you want to change the world, then why not quit and feed the hungry?
C C7
But people for millennia have needed music to survive
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
And that is why I've promised John that I will not feel guilty
[Verse 7]
C C7
So play your favorite Beatles song and make the subway fall in love
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
They're only nineteen ninety-five, that isn't lots of money
C C7
Play until the sun comes up and play until your fingers suffer
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
Play LCD Soundsystem songs on your ukulele
[Verse 8]
C C7
Quit the bitching on your blog and stop pretending art is hard
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
Just limit yourself to three chords and do not practice daily
C C7
You'll minimize some stranger's sadness with a piece of wood and plastic
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
Holy fuck, it's so fantastic, playing ukulele
[Verse 9]
C C7
Eat your homework with a fork and do your fruit loops in the dark

Your fear of heights, your Nikon lens

Your mom and dad, your disco stick, your soundtrack to "Karate Kid"

Your ginsu knives, your rosary, your new Rebecca Black CD

Your favorite room, your bowie knife, your stuffed giraffe, your new glass eye
Fsus2 G7sus4 G7
Your sousaphone, your breakfast tea, your Nick Drake tapes, your giving tree
C C7
Your ice cream truck, your missing wife, your will to live, your urge to cry
Fsus2 C
Remember we're all gonna die, so play your ukulele
