lyrics
When it’s all too much for you
There is something you can do
Listen to the lady in blue
Hear the words she sings to you
G Genius in simplicity
C Seize the day and the ukulele
E Easier than your ABC
A Aim high, play hard, strum fast, run free
My dog has fleas
He’s scratching on trees
There’s bites on my knees
My dog has fleas
Four paths to happiness
One two three four
Four beats in the bar
To get you on the dancefloor
Four strings on your instrument
Strum them you’ll go far
Four notes on your ukulele
This is what they are
