Lyrics
Early morning, eyes opened wide, my beloved’s waitin’ by my side
Four shimmering sunbeams calling me…
She got a lovely shape - so I hold her close, everyday a therapeutic dose
Transported to the beach at Waikiki.
(well) she thinks that she’s the only one, but there’s four string cloning going on
And all my ukes are the only ones for me
So I touch the strings, make ‘em sing - everyday another feather added to my wings
I call her my little jumping flea
There’s a cute baritone blowing up my phone - custom-made tenors won’t leave me alone
Four shimmering sunbeams calling me…
Got a great rapport with my music store, see me coming and they open the door
Them luthiers sure fill my heart with glee
This one’s got a tone that makes me wanna sing, I even consulted the I-Ching
So excuse me while I strum an open C (Welll…that’s a D)
I love ‘em all, just can’t decide, Keep my four stringed honeys sitting by my side
I call ‘em my little jumping fleas
