I just love this. It's such a fun song to play too, it just bounces along so joyfully ... I love the chord progression.
Only problem for me is that sweet Kermit likes to play in in E! I've yet to find a full set of chords in E.
I did find some of the song on Chordie, and I can probably figure the rest from there when I have time - I wish that was now, but sadly no. I'll just have to settle for singing along

Ukulele Lady by Richard Whiting & Gus Kahn
I saw the splendor of the moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
There's something tender in the moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
And all the beaches are filled with peaches
Who bring their ukes along
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
They love to sing this song
1:
If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you
If you like to linger where it's shady
Ukulele Lady linger too
If you kiss Ukulele Lady
While you promise ever to be true
And she sees another Ukulele
Lady foolin' 'round with you
2:
Maybe she'll sigh (an awful lot)
Maybe she'll cry (and maybe not)
Maybe she'll find somebody else
By and by
To sing to when it's cool and shady
Where the tricky wicky wacky woo
If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you
She used to sing to me by moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
Fond memories cling to me by moonlight
Although I'm far away
Some day I'm going, where eyes are glowing
And lips are made to kiss
To see somebody in the moonlight
And hear the song I miss
Repeat 1.
Repeat 2.
Wikipedia: Ukulele Lady is a popular standard, an old evergreen song by Gus Kahn and Richard A. Whiting. Published in 1925, the song was first made famous by Vaughn De Leath.
It has been recorded by The Paul Whiteman Orchestra with vocals by The Southern Fall Colored Quartet on June 12 1925, Peter Sellers, Arlo Guthrie on his album Hobo's Lullaby, and was performed by Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in the second season of The Muppet Show. Bette Midler first performed the song live in the 1997 TV special "Diva Las Vegas" as a tribute to her native Hawaii. Midler later recorded the song for her album Bathhouse Betty

I think it's neat that Kermit plays left handed.

I wonder if I can upload the video here. That would be a first for me. I only have two UU forum skills so far - I know how to Post a Reply and Reply with Quote.
I'll give it a try. I wonder if there is a special technique, a video upload button ... let me see now ...

Absolutely love it! I posted the newer link to my daughter's Facebook page. She was the one who started me on this uke-mania I find myself happily trapped in now....

It's wonderful - I love that you shared it with your daughter via facebook, I do similarly with my son ... sparingly
I'm excited - today I cracked the code - I know how to upload a video to the UU forum, (sooooo proud!!!) so here I go again. Fingers crossed
