I saw her on a youtube page, the young girl with a ukulele
Her eyes were wise beyond her age, the young girl with a ukulele
She couldn't sing, she couldn't play, but her hair was blonde and her voice was fae,
And so I watched her anyway, the young girl with a ukulele.
Musically, she was kinda flawed, the young girl with a ukulele
She only seemed to know one chord, the young girl with a ukulele
But she had a certain kind of modern style, half a woman, half a child
So people watched and people smiled, as she sang her song!
And she went: "yae yae yae yae yayayah, this world is beautiful. Oh oh oh oh ohohoh let's share it all today!"

Her song was on a TV ad, the young girl with a ukulele
Two little kids, a mum, a dad, the young girl with a ukulele
Walking down a country lane, as she sang her sweet refrain
For a well-known supermarket chain, the young girl with a ukulele.
It soon became a viral hit, the young girl with a ukulele
Till everyone was sick of it, the young girl with a ukulele
It climbed way up the download charts,
It caused a pang in mothers' hearts,
While dads had pangs in other parts,
As she sang her song.
She went: "yae yae yae yae yayayah, this world is beautiful. Oh oh oh oh ohohoh let's share it all today!"
Because there's something about a ukulele, it washes clean and white
Listen to it daily, and everything will be all right,
I dreamed that men went to war and the young girl with a ukulele,
reminded them what it was for, the young girl with a ukulele,
They fought for right against the wrong
They dropped their bombs she sang her song
While everybody sang along
And this is what we sang, we went "yae yae yae yae yayayah, this world is beautiful. Oh oh oh oh ohohoh lets share it all today!"
