About a decade ago, I taught my niece, Steph, Ukulele Lady and we recorded it on her laptop. This was at a Christmas celebration at my sister's house, and since the family was all there, we got them to join in for a line each. Steph and I are the only two who realized that the computer was still recording at the end, so we decided to let them yak on. It's a pretty amateurish effort, and pretty dark and I wasn't sure how to transfer it from Myspace, so I hope you can see/hear it.

Wow, I didn't realise I'd been playing ukulele for that long.
No, I'm not a southpaw. The computer flipped us.
Here are the words and changes we use:
Ukulele Lady Kahn and Whiting
[C]I saw the splendor [G7] of the [C] moonlight
On Hono[D7]lu[G7]lu [C] Bay [G7]
[C]There something tender [G7] in the [C] moonlight
On Hono[D7]lu[G7]lu [C] Bay
[Am] And all the beaches are full of peaches
[Em] Who bring their 'ukes' a[Am]long
[C] And in the glimmer [G7] of the [C] moonlight
They love to [D7] sing this [G7] song
Chorus:
If [C*] you [Em] like-a [Am] Ukulele [C] Lady
[C*]Ukulele [Em] Lady like-a you [Am] [C]
If [Dm] you [G7] like to linger [Dm] where it's [G7] shady
[Dm] Ukulele [G7] Lady linger [C] too [G7]
If [C*] you [Em] kiss a [Am] Ukulele [C] Lady
[C*]While you promise [Em] ever to be [Am] true [C]
And [Dm] she [G7] see an [Dm] other Uku [G7] lele
[Dm] Lady fool a [G7] round with [C] you[C7]
[F] Maybe she'll sigh
[C] Maybe she'll cry
[D7] Maybe she'll find somebody else
[G] By and [G7] by
To [C*] sing [Em] to [Am] When it's cool and [C] shady
[C*] Where the tricky [Em] Wicki Wackies [Am] woo [C]
If [Dm] you [G7] like a [Dm] Ukulele [G7] Lady
[Dm] Ukulele Lady like a [C] you [G7]
[C] She used to sing [G7] to me by [C] moonlight
On Hono [D7] lu [G7] lu [C] Bay [G7]
[C]Fond mem'rys cling to [G7] me by [C] moonlight
Although I'm [D7] far [G7] a [C]way
[Am] Someday I'm going where eyes are glowing
[Em] And lips are made to [Am] kiss
[C] To see somebody in the moonlight
And hear the [D7]song I [G7] miss
Chorus
[C]I saw the splendor [G7] of the [C] moonlight
On Hono[D7]lu[G7]lu [C] Bay
