lyrics

The party is in motion, the invited guests rock in The boutique venue pumping, the DJ starts to spin I make my last adjustments to a look both cool and hot

I’m ready for my entrance, I have practised this a lot

Just one more thing before I hit the bar: I’ll put my ukulele in the car !

Coo-ee, whoopee, aloha, fa-la-lah - I’ll put my ukulele in the car

The wedding preparations have been made with special care The theme is late Edwardian: grand frocks, bejewelled hair I’ve dressed for the occasion, with careful practised eye I don my brocade waistcoat, do up my gold silk tie But the final touch (according to research): I’ll bring my ukulele to the church !

From wedding march to daggy dopey lurch I’ll bring my ukulele to the church

Here gathered at the funeral, in sombre mood we wait In dark subdued attire at the Late Lamented’s gate The cortege standing ready to proceed at stately pace To impart the Dear Departed to the final resting place In tones of thoughtful wisdom I converse - while I chuck my ukulele in the hearse!

From sad to mad to bad and even worse, I’ll chuck my ukulele in the hearse

Whatever the occasion, whatever the event The icing on the cake is those four strings insanely bent You can be sure the thing will turn out right If you bring your ukulele on the night (Yee-hah!) Just bring your ukulele on the night (Fa-la-lah!) Just bring your ukulele (I’ll be strumming gaily) Bring your ukulele on the night!
