Name the Lyric

Which song – oft covered on ukulele – are these lyrics from?

21.

See her walking down the street / Now I ask you very confidentially

22.

Though the days are long / Twilight sings a song / Of a happiness that used to be

23.

Somewhere in her smile she knows / That I don’t need no other lover / Something in her style that shows me

24.

Ukulele small and fierceful / Ukulele brave and peaceful / You can play the ukulele too, it is painfully simple

25.

Yeah it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two / But I can shake it, shake it like I’m supposed to do / ‘Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase / All the right junk in all the right places
