I saw the splendor of the moonlight 
On Honolulu Bay 
There's something tender in the moonlight 
On Honolulu Bay 

And all the beaches are filled with peaches 
Who bring their ukes along 
And in the glimmer of the moonlight 
They love to sing this song 

1: 
If you like Ukulele Lady 
Ukulele Lady like a'you 
If you like to linger where it's shady 
Ukulele Lady linger too 
If you kiss Ukulele Lady 
While you promise ever to be true 
And she sees another Ukulele 
Lady foolin' 'round with you 

2: 
Maybe she'll sigh (an awful lot) 
Maybe she'll cry (and maybe not) 
Maybe she'll find somebody else 
By and by 
To sing to when it's cool and shady 
Where the tricky wicky wacky woo 
If you like Ukulele Lady 
Ukulele Lady like a'you 

She used to sing to me by moonlight 
On Honolulu Bay 
Fond memories cling to me by moonlight 
Although I'm far away 

Some day I'm going, where eyes are glowing 
And lips are made to kiss 
To see somebody in the moonlight 
And hear the song I miss
