Ukelele Lady 1925

I saw the splendour
of the moonlight
On Honolulu Bay;
There's something tender
in the moon light
On Honolulu Bay;
And all the beaches
are full of peaches
who bring their "ukes" along,
And in the glimmer of the moon light
they love to sing their song:

If you like a ukelele lady
Ukelele lady like a you,
If you like to linger
where it's shady
Ukelele lady linger too.
If you kiss a ukelele lady
will you promise ever to be true?
And she see another Ukelele
lady fool around with you.
Maybe she'll sigh
Maybe she'll cry
Maybe she'll find somebody else
by and by to sing to,
When it's cool and shady
where the tricky Wicki Wackies woo;
If you like a ukelele lady
ukelele lady like a you.

If you like a ukelele lady
Ukelele lady like a you,
If you like to linger
where it's shady
Ukelele lady linger too.
If you kiss a ukelele lady
will you promise ever to be true?
And she see another Ukelele
lady fool around with you.
Maybe she'll sigh
Maybe she'll cry
Maybe she'll find somebody else
by and by to sing to,
When it's cool and shady
where the tricky Wicki Wackies woo;
If you like a ukelele lady
ukelele lady like a you.

She used to sing to me
by moonlight
On Honolulu Bay;
Fond mem'ries cling to me
by moon light
altho' I'm far away.
Some day I'm going
where eyes are glowing
and lips are made to kiss,
To see somebody in the moon light
and hear the song I miss:

If you like a ukelele lady
Ukelele lady like a you,
If you like to linger
where it's shady
Ukelele lady linger too.
If you kiss a ukelele lady
will you promise ever to be true?
And she see another Ukelele
lady fool around with you.
Maybe she'll sigh
Maybe she'll cry
Maybe she'll find somebody else
by and by to sing to,
When it's cool and shady
where the tricky Wicki Wackies woo;
If you like a ukelele lady
ukelele lady like a you.

If you like a ukelele lady
Ukelele lady like a you,
If you like to linger
where it's shady
Ukelele lady linger too.
If you kiss a ukelele lady
will you promise ever to be true?
And she see another Ukelele
lady fool around with you.
Maybe she'll sigh
Maybe she'll cry
Maybe she'll find somebody else
by and by to sing to,
When it's cool and shady
where the tricky Wicki Wackies woo;
If you like a ukelele lady
ukelele lady like a you.
