lyrics

Now when I was a young boy my father said 'we're poor'
Can't afford no six string so you gotta make do with four
But when you're a man, the world will see what you've become
You'll be a ukulele man 'cos son, you were born to strum

I was busking in the city when I was just nineteen
A woman laughed and said, 'That's the smallest thing I've seen!'

I said 'No with a ukulele, you can have lots of fun,
Always smooth and silky when you're nylon strung'
She made me a man, she made me what I've become,
She made me a ukulele man, she said
'Hon, you was born to strum.'

Now if you want to do something special with your life
Get yourself a ukulele and a hootchie cootchie wife
And you'll become, oh you know what you'll become
You'll be a ukulele man, with an opposable thumb
A ukulele man, 'cos everyone's born to strum.
