Verse 1
Hanging In The Park, Just Before Dark,
Casing The Scene, So It Seemed
He Didn’t Have A Plan, He Just Put Up His Hand,
To Volunteer To Hand Out Pamphlets.
verse 2
I Asked Him “What’s Your Name?” He Said That It Was James.
And Could He Sit And Watch Me Play.
I Asked Him Do You Play? The Ukulele-Lei?
Funny Story He Said, He Had Started.
Bridge
He Said, ‘One Day When I Used To Play, I Had A Ukulele-Lei,
And On A Field Trip I Left It On The Roof Of The Car’.
Never Did I Feel The Same Without My Ukulele-Lei’.
And Funny Story, I’m Really Missing It Now.
