Lyrics
This Little Ukulele
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish I had an orchestra behind me
to show you how I feel
well, the orchestra remains imaginary
but this little ukulele's real
I wish I had an orchestra behind me
when you lose faith, an orchestra gives proof
well, an orchestra can tell you pretty stories
but this little ukulele tells the truth
