The Ukulele Song - Laura Benanti

The Ukulele Song Lyrics

Verse 1:
Have you ever noticed when you're pooped on by a bird
People look right at that turd
And they say the most absurd things it's lucky
I just think it's yucky
And have you ever noticed when a pretty girl walks passed
Men will look right at her ass
And then shout out something crass
As if she'd ever be that girl
They make her wanna hurl
Chorus:
And ohhhhhhhh
People are funny
And ohhhhhhhh
People are strange
Verse 2:

Have you ever felt a young man giving you the eye
As you walk on by
You don't even have to try
You've still got it
Turns out he stole your wallet
And have you had the feeling that you're looking pretty grand
As you walk hand in hand
With your adorable hus-band
One of those magical nights
Your dress is tucked into your tights
Chorus:
And ohhhhhhh
People are funny
And ohhhhhhh
People are strange
Bridge:
Now things don't always go like we want them to
I kind of like it better that way, don't you?
Verse 3:
Have you ever wanted to do something so darn cool
So that all the kids at school
Will stop saying "what a fool" to ya daily
So you start playing ukulele
And have you ever tried so hard to be someone you're not
We do those things a lot
But its the only life you've got
To be exactly who you are
I think you are a star
Chorus:
And ohhhhhh
People are funny
And ohhhhhh
People are brave
Verse 4:
Have you ever worked so hard at something so much fun
That you can't believe it's done
If you like you've just begun
But you don't wanna be a bore
So you try to leave them wanting more
