Lyrics
- I saw the splendor of the moonight
On Honolulu Bay
There’s something tender in the moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
And all the beaches are full of peaches
Who bring their “ukes” along
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
They love to sing their song
Chorus
If you like-a Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like-a you
If you like to linger where it’s shady
Ukulele Lady linger too
If you kiss a Ukulele Lady
Will you promise ever to be true
And she see another Ukulele Lady fool around with you
Maybe she’ll sigh, maybe she’ll cry
Maybe she’ll find somebody else
Bye and bye to sing to
When it’s cool and shady
Where the tricky Wicki Wackies woo
If you like a Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like-a you
- She used to sing to me by moonight
On Honolulu Bay
Fond mem’rys cling to me by moonlight
Altho’ 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
