Lyrics

  1. I got fun, Oh what fun
    Where’s someone that ain’t got none
    Get your hat and come with me
    I got love, Oh what love
    What place am I thinking of
    Get your hat and come with me
    Oh, never mind your hat
    Come on along and see

Chorus:
Who kin snookey ookey-oo
Who kin you kin I kin, too
Under the Ukulele tree
Who kin hokey pokey-poo
Who kin you kin I kin, too
Under the Ukulele tree
And then we’ll make a little music
Make a little dancing hand in hand
Make a little kissin’, make a little huggin’
Ain’t love grand
Who kin wickey wackey woo
Who kin you kin I kin, too
Under the Ukulele tree

  1. I’m so glad, Oh so glad
    Where’s someone that’s feeling bad
    Wash your face and come with me
    I got news, oh what news
    Where’s someone that’s got the blues
    Wash your face and come with me
    Oh never mind your face
    Because Oh gosh Oh gee

Chorus:
Who kin build a house for two
Who kin you kin I kin, too
Under the Ukulele tree
Who kin love on bread and stew
Who kind you kin, I can, too
Under the Ukulele tree
And then we’ll buy a little table
Buy a little sofa, chairs and such
Make a little payment, make a little payment
But not much
Who’ll have babies big and grand
Yes and so is your old man
Under the Ukulele tree

(Extra chorus, from 78rpm record by Lee Morse)

Who can make their salary too?
Who kin you kin I kin too!
Under the ukulele tree
Who can tell their landlord too
He can go to Timbuctoo
Under the ukulele tree
And you give nothing to butcher
Nothing to the grocer
Ha, ha, ha!
Save a lot of money, save a lot of money
Buy a car
After you’ve got all that jack
You’ll wake up right on your back
Under the ukulele tree
