The kids were all lined up to see old Santa Claus To tell him what they want for Christmas But things aren't like before.. because: Little Joey wants an xbox And Lisa wants an ipad air Michael wants his videos to go viral As Santa slumps in his chair Mary wants a Nintendo 3DS One that's coloured lime And Santa got sad when Timmy asked for an android, but not the robot kind Then it was Sally's turn And she looked at him with such a grin Santa asked what she wanted and this is what she said to him CHORUS "I wanna ukulele for Christmas to write and play my own songs I wanna be like Ukulele Ike and have my own sing-a-longs George Formby is my ukulele idol Odd for someone of my youth But please Santa a ukulele for Christmas It's four strings and the truth" Santa just couldn't believe it. He said "Don't you want a smartphone?" "No, not me" she said with glee.. "I wanna play just like J. Chalmers Doane" Vaughn Deleath is really neat And Tiny Tim wasn't that bizarre I wanna duo with Jake Shimabukuro At a tiny desk concert at NPR CHORUS I wanna ukulele for Christmas To me it's more than a toy Gadgets need upgrading (so frustrating!) It's all a consumer ploy But a ukulele doesn't need a battery or needs to use wifi You just pluck the strings, out music rings With the sound of ancient Hawaii [solo] Now sally has her ukulele And she plays it all day long Now all her friends all want one And they join together in song CHORUS I wanna ukulele for Christmas to write and play my own song I wanna be like Ukulele Ike and have my own sing-a-longs I wanna ukulele for Christmas To me it's more than a toy Giving the joy of music To every girl and boy CHORDS: ====== Verse: C | F | Em | Am | G | C | Em | F | G Chorus: C | F | C | G | C | F | C | F | G
