Liner Notes

This is for the Skirmish Posession. Sorry it took so long. But with my ukulele in hand, the idea came quickly! #singersongwriter #acoustic #acousticonetake #skirmish #guywithukulele

Lyrics

How many trombones do you need? Will grand pianos satisfy greed? Do you know when enough's enough? When's a hobby too much stuff? With ukes you just don't know! Like they're a dime a dozen row by row.

Where the heck can they go to survive? The closet is bursting, the bedroom's a hive. You can hang them on the wall! Bag them on the floor! Can you stick 'em in a van? Hide them from your spouse any way that you can.

Chorus It's just a given, it's a rule of the square, Ya buy ukuleles is like ya breathe in air! You see those letters in your Facebook group, UAS? Some sort of a Stupe!

"How many can you play at once?" You laugh, you scoff, you treat 'em like a dunce. Because THAT the point, is completely beside! But you ask yourself with a little bit of pride: The point ... The point... The point is... N/C Hey, look at that uke! She's a beauty! Look at that shine! I've got one with mango wood, but not like that design!

HOW MUCH? HOW MUCH? HOWMUCHHOWMUCHHOWMUCH???

Chorus It's just a given, it's a rule of the square, Ya buy ukuleles is like ya breathe in air! You see those letters in your Facebook group, UAS? Some sort of a Stupe!

Bet you thought a uke is a uke is a uke— Sorry, my friend, that idea is a fluke! Got yer traditional shapes, modern cuts on the side, Blown-away models that you hold with pride. Got a four-string, a five-string, an eight-string—SNAP! Like thirty different sizes, just call me "Hap"!

Noone ever had to tell you, You need more than one. Maybe even more than two. I boxed them, I bagged them, I hung them in a row, Now there's nowhere left for a human to go. Don't like plastic ukes? Well, listen to me: You're gonna buy one wait and see!

Chorus It's just a given, it's a rule of the square, Ya buy ukuleles is like ya breathe in air! You see those letters in your Facebook group, UAS? Some sort of Stupe!

Who they talkin' 'bout? Like they think they know. I ain't just any old schmoe.

UAS... yeah, now I see. UAS... a disease in me. Just one more. Just one more.,Just one more. then I'll stop. N/C Wait, is that wood koa?

Wow, this hits me hard because I have always been the type of person who likes a hobby with “stuff” and who wants to collect all the gear. Yet online I have learned that there are always many people who take it much farther than I do. Great idea for a song and in response to this prompt.

Thanks!

@robinleaf 2d

Bahahahahaha these lyrics are killing me. 👏👏👏

I have a song called "Ukuleles Are Not Pokémon (but I Still Want Them All)" so I totally have UAS.

Wait, is that wood koa?

😂😂😂

@frankb 2d

Thanks! What's your latest count? I think I'm pushing a dozen.

@robinleaf 2d

So I've gotten to the point that when people ask me I say I don't know and change the subject... 😂

I'd have to seriously think about it and count, and I kinda don't want to, because then I'll be lying the next time I say I don't know...but I'm pretty sure it's at least 20...
