A ukulele came one day for me;
it had an image of an Army site.
I’ll learn to play and be all I can be.
There was no return address I could see;
and non-returnable was bold and bright.
A ukulele came one day for me.
The site I saw fit Fort Knox to a tee;
it looked as though it was seen from a height.
I’ll learn to play and be all I can be.
I also read, From sea to shining sea;
both image and that phrase gave me delight.
A ukulele came one day for me.
I wondered who would send a uke for free;
In pensive pose I thought with all my might.
I’ll learn to play and be all I can be.
I sat with ukulele on my knee,
with frets of gold and tuning keys of white.
A ukulele came one day for me;
I’ll learn to play and be all I can be.
