Little Red Uke (Tune: Little Deuce Coupe – Beach Boys)

From: Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook www.scorpexuke.com Additional lyrics by Rick Whitehead

Intro: [G] [Em/G] [G] [Em/G] [G] [Em/G] [G] [Em/G]

[G] Little red uke you don't know what I got..........

[G] Little red uke you don't know what I got..........

[G] Well I’ve got a uke babe so don't put me down

She’s the neatest little uke in [G7] all of the town

When a [C] song comes along to me I don't have to try

Cause I can [G] play three chords so I can get by

Chorus: She’s my [D] little red [Am] uke [D]

You don't [Am] know what I [G] got

(Little red uke you don’t know what I got)

[G] Just a little red uke with nylon strings

When I pluck her or I strum her she [G7] really swings

She [C] cost twenty bucks but I’ve got no regrets

I’ve [G] lowered the saddle and filed all the frets

Repeat Chorus

She's got a [C] great little sound if the strings stay in tune

When I [G] play by the light of the [G7] silvery moon

And [C] if that ain’t enough to make you flip your lid

She’ll [A7] sound even better when I [D7] fit the Aquilas

So [G] why not grab a uke babe and join in the fun

You can even join a club for uke a[G7]ppre-ci-a-tion

You can [C] pick up ukuleles in various hues

Of [G] yellow and pink and all sorts of blues

Or get a [D] little red [Am] uke [D]

Now you [Am] know what I [G] got

(Little red uke now you know what I got)

My [D] little red [Am] uke [D]

Now you [Am] know what I [G] got

(Little red uke now you know what I got)

Outro: [G] Little red uke now you know what I got..........

[G] Little red uke now you know what I got..........

[G] Little red uke now you know what I got

Little Deuce Coupe Beach Boys Hear this song at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2scNZ1NrZg

From: Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook www.scorpex.net/uke.htm

[G] Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down

But I've got the fastest set of [G7] wheels in town

When [C] something comes up to me he don't even try

Cause if I [G] had a set of wings man I know she could fly

[G] She's my [D] little deuce [Am] coupe [D]

You don't [Am] know what I [G] got

[G] Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill

But she'll walk a Thunderbird like she’s [G7] standin' still

She’s [C] ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored

She'll do a [G] hundred and forty with the top end floored

[G] She's my [D] little deuce [Am] coupe [D]

You don't [Am] know what I [G] got [G7]

She's got a [C] competition clutch with the four on the floor

And she [G] purrs like a kitten till the [G7] lake pipes roar

And [C] if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid

There's [A] one more thing I got [D] the pink slip daddy

A [G] comin' off the line when the light turns green

Well she blows 'em outta the water like you [G7] never seen

I get [C] pushed out of shape and it’s hard to steer

When [G] I get rubber in all four gears

[G] She's my [D] little deuce [Am] coupe [D]

You don't [Am] know what I [G] got

[G] She's my [D] little deuce [Am] coupe [D]

You don't [Am] know what I [G] got
