PLAY IT ON YOUR LITTLE UKE

I went over to Jersey town, Play it on your little Ukulele
Bullfrog kicked all the houses down, Play it on your little Uke
Beefsteak and a mutton chop, Play it on your little Ukulele
makes my mouth go fliperty pa flop Play it on your little Uke.

A Jay bird sat on a hickery limb, Play it on your little Ukulele
He wink'd at me and I wink'd at him, Play it on your little Uke
I pick'd up a stone and I hit his shin, Play it on your little Ukulele
Says he, "you better not do that again," Play it on your little Uke.

I hab a sweetheart in dis town, Play it on your little Ukulele
She wears a yellow striped gown; Play it on your little Uke
And when she walks de street around, Play it on your little Ukulele
De hollow of her foot make a hole in de ground, Play it on your little Uke.

--I copied the lyrics as printed in a 1920s ukulele song book. The title page is missing, so I can't say which book it is.
Rose, I don't know if you're still searching for the lyrics since this thread is from nearly two decades ago, but if you are, I hope you see this!
